Official Non Vinotemp Help Thread

With the recent craze going on for vinotemps lately, and some of us missing out on the great deal, I have been looking for solutions. I wanted to buy another desktop humidor but realized if I get a wine cooler it might be the last humi I will ever need.

I found this one at Lowes and am going to look at it tonight, hopefully convincing my parents its my Christmas gift:

I have a few questions from those of you that have experience using these as humidors.

1.) Does it have to be run by electrothermal?
2.) How do you set these up? Plug in and set the temp to what you want?
3.) Are beads at the bottom and top sufficient? About how much to use?
4.) Any holes or anything that need to be plugged and if so how?
5.) Any other relevant information
