Yeah, ambient %RH here is always low. Like 15-30%. I might skip the beads starting out and see if the Active system does alright by itself. If not I can always pick some up. In the end there will be a lot of wood in there from boxes, and the drawers/shelves, so that might be enough of a buffer.

It will be opened a couple times per week probably, and I plan on having air circulation fans going inside 24x7 to avoid dead air spots and keep everything inside balanced. Should be good there in theory.

My biggest unknown overall is the cooling. The freezer insulation might help buffer against the daytime temps going above 80, the nights usually drop down to the 60's. It would give me great peace of mind to know for sure that my sticks can never go above 70 though. Anyone know what the part number is on a Vino 28's thermoelectric cooler? Or what specific type of thermoelectric cooler it is? I've found literally dozens of configurations/types of thermo coolers on the sites I've been browsing. My experience with cooling is limited to mounting air conditioners in windows. That's a field I haven't done much research into yet.

Thanks for the advice guys.
