Worth making a SGFC for 5 cakes?

So I'm wondering if it is worth building a SGFC when I have 5 cakes and do not plan on doing PF tek again. Next I plan on buying a pc, going grains, monotub, you know the deal.
Since I plan on using a mono in the future could I just put perlite in a mono and fruit it that way? Some say you need the holes in the bottom but others say it will just evaporate fine anyways. I saw 2 L bottle terrariums but I don't have any laying around.
I have a sterlite container that I was considering using but it is only 10 inches tall. if I put 4 inches of perlite then the cakes on top, I'm not sure that really enough room for the mushrooms. Maybe it will be fine?
I went to multiple stores last night and can't find any the right size for a SGFC that have clear lids and I don't want to mess around with sticking a piece of plastic on there with silicon for 5 cakes.
Thanks.

Why won't you drill holes in the bottom? thats the point of the SGFC... You need the airflow from the bottom to drive up the RH.
Once you make a proper SGFC you won't be able to use it as a mono. Just keep it around to do trays or more cakes in the future.

are clear tubs hard to come by where you are? My problem is not finding them, but finding them for under 10$.
I like the 66qt size or 60L.
Also when looking for perlite, stay away from the small bag of Shultz's. Waste of money and most of the perlite is super small or just a bunch of dust.
I had to buy the big ass bag from the grow stores. Medium to large chunks

I'm not sure what kind of perlite I have, but I got it from Home Depot.
Yeah I find tons of clear tubs but none have clear lids. I am not sure why. If they do they are usually super tiny. I may just end up having to cut the top out and using silicon to make an airtight clear lid with plexiglass. Just seems like a pain in the ass. But mostly expensive. Oh well do what you gotta do. I'm just glad I've made it this far.

Awesome thanks Nota. This will save me a lot of time and money wandering around. And I just realized I have a Target gift card I was never going to use.
