So I found out last weekend that I'm getting this beast for my birthday (still over a month away but apparently my niece can only keep a secret for about an hour) I feel horrible for my wife because she put a lot of time and effort into finding this for me, even made a fake profile on BOTL to ask some questions about what she should get. But I'm super excited none the less.
I don't even have this at my house yet and I haven't seen it in person. But my plans are to pull the A/C unit and replace it with a thermoelectric one, line the inside with spanish cedar (if it isn't already), rearrange some of the shelves, possibly have Forrest make a large drawer for singles, and find some combination of active humidity and bead and/or KL that will keep the humidity solid.
So for those of you that have taken on projects like this, what advice would you give?
My main concerns is cooling. I know there are TE units out there, but does anyone have any good or bad experiences they can share? And what about a thermostat to control it?
Still looking into humidification options. The Hydra has come with good recommendations and is in line with my budget. The Avallo Accumonitor looks great but might be a bit of a stretch for my budget.
Any advice from your experiences would be great.
I'll keep this updated with pics as the build progresses.
Thanks,
