Two Pair
I ordered a couple Pelican 1510's a few months ago when they were on sale on Amazon. I just finished getting one set up for poker chips.
I cut the Pick-n-Pluck foam to fit 3 racks high by 5 racks wide for a total of 1500 chips. This leaves plenty of foam all the way around to ensure a safe ride for my chips. I put a rack upside down on top of each stack of 3 racks to make sure they stay put. This makes them the perfect height for the lid of the Pelican to hold everything in nice and tight.
I also did the PlastiDip trick on the foam after it was cut down to size. I highly recommend this, it should drastically extend the life of the foam before it starts to fall apart. I was a little shocked to discover that PlastDip is about $25 a can up here in Canada. A bunch of the YouTube tutorials said its about $6 in the States.
I went through about a can and a half of PlastiDip, mostly because I was being very generous. I also took some of the unused foam and created 4 rack-sized pieces of foam. I also coated these with PlastiDip.
My plan is to use these to fill in some of the space when I don't want to haul around all 1500 chips, as that's pretty heavy. I can put all 4 of these pieces in for a capacity of 900 chips.
And here is how I have it set up right now. I took one of the foam pieces out which is the right size for another rack with one upside on top for a total of 1000 chips. I also recommend the optional lid organizer that you can see in this picture. Plenty of room for 4 set ups of cards and some other accessories like buttons. I'm going to try to find some sort of money bag that will fit in the right pocket for the bank.
If I were to do this again, I would try glueing the 2 layers of Pick-n-Pluck together once I have them plucked and before the PlastiDip. I would also pull out a few sections of the foam for finger slots along one side which would make it a lot easier to get racks out.
