Coolers make great humidors. They seal well and hold lots of cigars and are relatively inexpensive.
Spanish cedar aids in humidification, and can impart some scent or flavor to your cigars, but it is not needed. More like a nice-to-have -- which you can still have by taking Spanish cedar from cigar boxes and placing it in your cooler.
Finally, if you do add cedar, consider seasoning the cedar first, otherwise if the wood is dry (or wet) it is likely to play havoc with your RH.
