Coleman, Igloo, and Rubbermaid all make good coolers.

In my post above is a Rubbermaid 48qt. Without knowing what size of boxes, I would take a guess that up to 12 is possible. The nice part about the Rubbermaid is it has a pin-hinge design versus a plastic strap. Granted there's no harm to a coolidor if the lid straps break just an annoyance.

Igloo Marine coolers work good if you're going to stand it upright and add shelves. These have molded in grooves that allow for easy shelves (as shown in J0eybb's post).

The Coleman Extreme and the Coleman with radio are thick walled coolers (more insulation). Not really something that is needed for a coolidor but won't cause any harm. A benefit to the design of these coolers is having good areas to install weatherstrip material because of how the lid fits with the bottom.
