You can find plans for DIY wooden beer cases in books & online, and you can find vintage ones for between $5-$20 depending on condition & rarity. You might also try your local homebrewers to see if any of them have wooden beer cases for sale. I think you would probably be best served by building your own from .5" plywood & 1"x1"s, you would be certain that the boxes are the size you want and as sturdy as you want.
