Display Case Advice

Has anyone got any shop-bought display cases (ideally with doors) for their figures and vehicles that they'd recommend to others?

It'd be cool to build one from scratch but I simply don't have those kind of skills...maybe one day :P

I have a few of the aspvik? from Ikea... They do one at 40 quid but not roomy enough for bigger vehicles so went for that larger one...

I really like the ones I got from Argos. I can't post a link to the thread (logged on on mobile) but if you do a search for Steved command centre in the search it should bring you my old thread. Mirrored backs, lights in, and glass doors. I love them!

i had a look for those steve but our local argos only had cabinets which were 60cm wide nice looking but not big enough.

They look like some good cases lads, I did look at the Ikea ones before but the only thing that put me off is that they're white and I have about 3 other BLACK Ikea bookshelves :D

Has anyone see these?

Apex Display Case at smalljoes.com

I'd like one but 1) it's a US site so I'd probably have my pocket raped for postage and 2) they don't except paypal...

Anyone know anything similar to these?
