Having the chips already in a rack or box is the way to go--I used to have a "standard" (aka "ghetto") aluminum 500-chip case and set, but found that the loose chips in large rows slowed down play trying to get out the correct amount of chips for buy-ins/rebuys. The boxes make it much more handy to pull more chips out: just grab a box and go. For tourneys, I can even "pre-stage" the initial buy-in stacks in the boxes. I will never go back to loose storage.
The case I have is indeed a "Husky" brand tool case from Home Depot. The foam in the lid does not come with it (I happened to have a piece lying around). The case is not very good quality--it doesn't close very tightly, the walls flex, and the handle looks like it may come out or the wall to which it is attached might break if I carry it around too often. I think it is a cheap Chinese knock-off of some other high-quality design.
I too, have investigated Pelican, but the prices and the lack of latch locks are an issue. I have toyed with getting a Zero Halliburton--nice cases, but oh those prices!
