Default Rear storage boxes?

Guys,
I'm new to the Jeep world and purchased a 2 door JK from my local dealer in Bundoora a few weeks ago. The honeymoon isn't over and I'm really pleased with the Jeep so far. It's going to be my daily ride and I'm lucky enough to get a car allowance with my job.
My question is this... It came with the Renegade pack, thus hard and soft tops were supplied. I'm currently running with the hard top until spring when I'll switch to the soft top. My job involves carrying around a laptop and data projector and I wondered if any of you smart guys have made your own secure storage box to bolt-in (somehow) behind the rear seats, as sometimes I'll need to leave stuff in the back whilst parked? I'm thinking of making a strong wooden box covered with carpet so it blends in and doesn't look like an obvious storage area, but didn't want to waste time reinventing the wheel if somebody can give me some advice...
Appreciate any feedback.
Cheers.

Crikey, $705! But thanks for the info.
Actually I'm hoping to make something myself for much less than that. Would be interesting to see how that trunk bolts in/secures, as the shape looks perfect. I also like the idea of a full plate covering the area from one rollcage downtube to the other, but it would need a vertical plate behind the back seat or the theives would get access if they rolled and tumbled the seat.
Any other ideas guys...?

The Tuffy rear shelf is fully boxed and has a rear panel that encloses the back of the seats. Very good quality and Jeepkonection supplied mine.

could always check with a local fab what they could build for the price your looking at. In the old TJ i took out the back seats and had a bit metal box made up, bolted that into the existing holes fro the rear seat bracket. worked brilliant.

Thanks for the advice, that's along the lines of my thoughts.
There was a post on here a few weeks ago (before I bought the JK) of a home made sub woofer box covered in carpet, which looked really professional, so I'm thinking of something like that. Being an engineer and fairly handy on the tools, I like to fabricate things for myself, rather than just spend willy-nilly. The Tuffy box looks really good though, I have to say...

Cheers for the responses.

There's some picks in this thread of the way I built my false floor, I did modify it so the crossbar is removable with the deck leaving me with a full floor pan, I also moved the speaker to under the rollbar.

I have other pics here but can't find them and the forum won't allow me to reload them.
