Is eg a place where you can buy stuff? If not, you can get boxes by UPS from Digi-Key (www.digikey.com) or Mouser (www.mouser.com).
If you want to build a plastic box, polystyrene is rugged and can be glued. Most metal boxes are made of aluminium because it is easy to work. Bend it into a box and screw it together.

sure in the picture you see the base only, but there is still the cover!
