Need help obtaining a new glove box

So I have spent far too long using home built "poor man's" glove boxes. It usually consist of me having to duct tape up the hatch every time I use it. It's been quite successful at times in the past but as it gets older it gets less successful. I'm done with cheaply made boxes and would like one that is more convenient to use and will last and hopefully have a constant 90%+ success rate.
It needs to be somewhat compact and mobile. Unfortunately I don't have enough room for any sort of permanent lab space. I've heard about people using heapa filters but haven't seen what those look like and I'm not necessarily opposed to using one as long as it doesn't take up too much space or can be easily deconstructed when not in use. I would like to do it as cheap as possible but am willing to spend a decent amount of $$$ as long as it has been proven to be reliable.
If anyone could send me links to where I might purchase one or to guides on how to build one or if you would just like to send pics and a simple description of what you use it would be much appreciated. Tightening up the farming routine takes time and you can only perfect one process at a time. This is my next process that needs tightening up.
Again any info at all will be truly appreciated.

You can take 10$ and make a still air box. Hell make 3 like I did if you need more room. Still only costs 30$..
A good hepa filter is pretty damn expensive. Like 200-800$. A flow hood would also need a blower which is another 200$. It costs huge money to make your own flow hood, or 30$ for 3 still air boxes..

You do not want a glove box for this application.
Make a SAB (still air box) as the others have said.

To save space - If you fit your armholes with PVC couplings and caps, you can double your SAB as a storage tote when not in use.

I'm just weary of a "still air box". My arms are constantly moving in there thus creating air flow. I have a hard time imagining that my problem isn't too many leaks in my box but rather not enough? Can that be accurate?

I gave up on my SAB after a year. No matter how careful I was, contams still showed there ugly face. After biting the bullet and spending the money to build a laminar flowhood, the contams have virtually disappeared. My problem was a drafty old mobile home in which I reside so take my advice with a grain of salt.

Here a link to a glovebox tek which you might like (sturdy, effective): http://www.shroomtalk.com/forum/index.php?/topic/29892-nice-glovebox-for-the-more-hands-on-types/
I use a HEPA air filter which is effective and can also be used around your abode for overall cleanliness and health: http://www.amazon.com/Honeywell-50250-S-99-97%25-Round-Purifier/dp/B00007E7RY/
Run the HEPA air filter in your 'lab' for a couple of hours, sterilize etc. and use the glovebox and I'm sure you will have success and not break your checking account.

A still air box is a much easier alternative to a glovebox and better in many ways. Here is a pretty short thread that explains why mostly. It has trusted cultivators vouching for the SAB.

It's a fact that a still airbox is less drafty than a glovebox. Just make a SAB and get to work using it and improving your method
