I just got the rigid set, although I have not set it up or used it yet. It's on sale at home depot, if you get the bottom 2 the top one is free. All 3 cost under $100.

I too started with large plastic bins. I started with clear ones that had moisture proof seals which were nice. Now I have black ones in all different sizes. I've separated them into specific bins (like interior bin, exterior bin, misc tools bin). But my dream is this sweet setup from Ridgid. The bottom bin is the right size for polishers, whereas the smaller two bins are great for towels or pads or chemicals. Being able to roll it in and out of my trailer would be nice too. My advice is to get black bins. Being able to see inside the bin when it starts to get a little messy doesn't look very professional.
Ridgid gear cart, for the middle box I have the ventilated version that I think has been discontinued. I use a Voodoo padded bag for my rifles.
dewalt tough system boxes are a good start. dewalt also makes a racking system that holds the boxes on the shelves. I would bet that this is what your brother is envisioning. also Milwaukee packout boxes or ridgid tool storage boxes are other companies that make similar kits. I am guessing that this is the kind of stuff he wants for the "portable" boxes, but afaik of the three only dewalt makes the racking to go along with it.
Now if you want to get super bad ass then there are the sortimo systems, which has tons of box and racking options, but they are extra pricey.
Does he have a lot of professional bosch or festool tools? Because they often come in boxes designed to mate well with each other as well.
edit: here is a great writeup about modular storage systems.
I have a fancy range backpack that I use when I'm going for a quick trip, but I use these for matches. I fill the bottom big one with ice and drinks, the next two with ammo according to caliber, then the others with my gear.
