Have a look at Digikey. I have purchased 5 of these boxes
Works out $67.24 inc GST and shipping.

I believe this is the same box that Hanson Electronics also sells
$45 inc GST but shipping needs to be added. They have two in stock, you would need to work out what option works best for you.

This is also the same Bud box that Extreme Lighting Displays use for their kits (though currently out of stock). Last month i did get ELD to make up 5 sets of custom mounting plate for me so that part is easy enough to get.

Here is a box i finished last week.

AU $12.03 21% Off | Weekly 7 Days Programmable Digital TIME SWITCH Relay Timer Control AC 220V 230V 110V 24V 12V 16A 30A Din Rail Mount

If I had my time again I would have bought a Shelly Plus 1PM. But it the digital timer will do the job

Here is the ezy storage “IP67” box from Bunnings, $11.98 ea. it won’t last a lifetime, but I think it will do for awhile. Parts placed just for show. I’ll put some glands on the bottom and a vent on the back, then all I have to figure out is a pole mount! I’m planning on putting a baseplate in to help me mount things with some stand-offs to make it easy.

Hello from Germany,
Because my light show is mobile and I need plenty of power, I use two bigger outdoor switch cabinets IP65, which I put on 25cm/10 inch feet (prevent snow or water). In one I integrated 8 power supplies and two controllers. In the other, ther is just one Controller and 6 power supplies and a router for the LAN connection of everything. I did not have any problem with that, even standing free outside in rain and snow.
