any recommendations

If you want a desktop get one, you asked for recommendations but then rebuked that advice. Sounds like you already know what you want.

My advice would be listen to the folks here. Many many a newbie comes in and asks this same question, gets told get a vino or a cooler and they all say No I want a desktop. Your going to out grow your desktop in a month or two...most everyone does. Since you mentioned your desk after you grad law school

A) How long till you graduate law school?

If more than a year get a cooler and spend your money on cigars to build your collection...THEN when you graduate and get a job. THEN get something nice for your office...chances are you'll be making better coin then and would want something nicer then the entry level type desktop humidors on the cheaper end of the spectrum.

Till then figure out what you like..get and smoke lots of it!

Ok first ide like to thank everyone for their help thus far. But today I purchased the Man O' War desktop humidor. I started by giving the inside a quick dampening with distiller water and a cloth and I now have a glass with distiller water in there along with the humidification pad that came with the humidor. My question is what are my next steps? I plan to buy a digital hydrometer ASAP and I also plan on waiting for this humidor to reach a perfect 70 rh before putting anything into it. What do you guys suggest for humidification? Beads? An electric one? And is there anything else I should do in my seasoning process? Lastly how often should I open it to check the humidity with the pad and glass of distiller water in it?
