I would have to say my perfect humidor would be one about the size of a medium sized walk in closet, cedar walls and shelves. That would then be connected to my personal smoking lounge. In the basement of course. Yeah that is my perfect humidor.
What would you want in your "perfect" humidor setup?

I have the smokes, but lacking in the friends department. Poor me.

I actually really love the look of what you posted, drawers with a glass-front door.
For me, the perfect humi would include built-in area for a removable bead container, possibly at the back of each drawer, as I don't like electronic humidification. Takes up room, and is unnecessary for only 200 sticks. Also, a system for thin dividers that could be placed at many different intervals. All-natural Spanish cedar interior, no finish inside. Carbon fiber or ebony exterior.
If I were limited to 200 sticks, I'd look at something that would hold about 50 per drawer with about 4 drawers. Or maybe 40 across 5 drawers. Each would have ample room for beads and dividers. I wouldn't worry about box storage with only 200 sticks. If I bought a box, and had a 200-stick humi, Id just unpack them and put them in the drawers, I wouldn't waste the space trying to accommodate packaging.
The main thing would be an accurate hygrometer. If I could do anything, it would be a really high end professional hygrometer of some kind with a display you could read from looking at the door.

a friend of mine had a humidor built with exact dimensions of a coffin. He has it full of cigars and plans on being buried in it and have his friends smoke any cigars he has left and sprinkle the ashes on his grave.
I'll keep the humidor I have if I am limited to 200 cigars. Mine holds about 400-500 cigars depending on size.

Best idea yet

A nice sized walk in Humi with a stripper pole in the middle of it. 
I saw this humidor the other day made by Arlin Liss and it offers about 90% of what I am looking for in "my" perfect humidor. It holds 350 cigars and has a great large drawer for accessories. I would like a little more depth to hold some boxes and would prefer a more contemporary style, but other than that this is it. Alas, at $4,500 for this unit I will most likely be shopping at Cheap Humidors for my next box.
I play poker with some friends about once a month or so & have the same problem. None of them smoke, but want a cigar while playing cards. If you give them something good they put it out after 1/3 or so, which I dread. I usually keep some JR Alternatives around since most of those are worth smoking (I will smoke them) and not as bad as the dog rockets that some companies try to sell (20 cigars for $29.99 plus a humidor comes to mind).
