Thanks for the links Dave - I'll take a look. As for budget... Unlimited. Ha ha, I wish. I don't want to get cheap on it, because I want it to function appropriately. I do have a line on cedar, from what I've been told, where it will be a bit cheaper than in the thousands.

Not sure if you're going to find a small auto-fill humidifier. You could probably modify just about any humidifier tank with a level/float switch tied to a relay that operates a solenoid valve on the water line though.
That modification system is kind of what I was thinking, and was wondering if anyone has done it and could provide some insights. But after considering the distilled part, I'd probably be better off daisy chaining a couple smaller units and just refilling with distilled water every week/month as needed.

This project, if it goes forward, would likely be a few months out - so I have time to research/plan.
