I beg to differ. With temperature changes and ambiet temps he is seeing it would be impossible not to have condensation. The harder the unit has to work the more water the cooler will condese out of the air. When it is up to 90+ ambient the cooler is working at it's maximum output to cool the cabinet. He is going to have to collect and return the condensate to the air in some fashion.

True but with a plugged drain and more beads or some other method he can reduce that to a minimum. My rH is affected the same as his with the temperature swings. My modifications have reduced those effects to nill except for a small portion of the day. Even when allowed to go extremely low during testing my edgestar was able to recover to within 2% of 65% rH within 6 hours with 2-3lbs of beads.
