Kyle,

If you can find an old fiberbilt case, you can't beat it. You also  
might be able to rent one from yr local camera/video rental. I Also  
use soft bags for stands.  Stands are pretty tough. I have been using  
regular luggage roll bags for lights and they do fine with a little  
extra padding. Check with alien bees about their recommendation if you  
need to remove flashtubes for transit.
