What is a good waterproof case for a Raspberry Pi and NoIR PiCam?

Question

I have built a birdhouse, with a Raspberry Pi and NoIR in it. But I am having issues with sealing it from the elements.

I had an IR Led light ring that burned out part of circuit. Not sure if it was because of elements.

Also looking to seal up the PiCam for weather.

Thank You for any Answers and Ideas.

First Version of Birdhouse. - Original location for PiCam and IR LED Ring.

Version 2 - Modified PiCam and IR LED ring location.

I would suggest something like a tupperware container. seal any holes where water can get in, but you still need holes for ventilation... need to put some kind of louvers over them to keep the elements out. if the LED ring was connected to the +5v of the Pi itself, that would be why some things fried... looks like 36 LED's and the 5mm LED's typically require 20-30mA each. so that makes a total power consumption of 720mA to 1080mA. Just the Pi itself requires 1000mA. not sure what the camera draws, but I'd recommend a separate power supply for the LED's
