EDIT as of Feb 29th... Bob let me know my Aristocrat is ready to ship, yeah boy!!!
For all you cabinet humi owners, I'm looking for a little advice. I've been dying to buy a cabinet for some time now and I'm itching to pull the trigger on a decent size one. But here's my problem... I was hoping to wait until I bought a new house that has an air conditioner or at least a room that stays cool. But it looks like I'm staying in my current house for a couple more years and the house gets too damn hot in the Summer, even in Seattle. I'm talking it can get 90 degrees in my house and I have no cool areas.
But cabinets with cooling systems are so damn expensive compared to ones without! So, does anyone here own a cabinet without cooling that lives in a warm house? Can I get away with buying a cabinet without a cooling system knowing it will only get hot in my house 2-4 weeks out of the year? Will the cabinet be "insulated" enough or should I really spend the extra bucks for the cooling unit? Just looking at Avallo, the Triple D is $1,800 vs $3,700 to add cooling!?!
If I didn't have to buy a cooling unit, I would buy asap. The big jump in price for cooling units keeps me on the fence.
