Best way to keep fused wiring clean?

I'm looking at doing some mods in my GD3 fit (HIDs, air horns, remote controlled lighting, etc) and realized nearly all of these applications require a relay off the original wiring and a fused link to the battery. Anyone know of a relatively inexpensive aftermarket fuse block I could put in the engine bay? Would I also have to enclose it in a waterproof box?

Also if one could be found with connectors to plug in at least two 30 amp relays that would be awesome. I'm thinking combined power draw for the whole block would be less than 100 amps (in the worst possible case).

i usually just mount the relay to an open bolt/nut and e-tape the connectors under
it so it is away from the elements. and use wire wraps on all the cables to keep it
away from the elements and heat.
