A good cooler will out perform a wooden humi if it seals well. A beautiful wooden humi beats the pants off most fridgadors in the looks dept. It really does boil down to what you want to spend, and what you want to get out of it. I probably don't need to plug in my fridgador 90% of the year. My desktop, even though it seals very well, in the RH of winter in Minnesota, with the furnace on, and humidity swings, the beads need recharging a bit more often. The marine cooler with the good seal, and kept fairly full and not opened very often? Rarely needs recharging. The fridgador with being opened more than 30 or 40 times a month seems to need recharging more often as well. I root around in it fairly frequently.

Beads are your friend, there are a couple good varieties with good reviews on the board here.

Form, function, cost, quality, all important considerations. Maybe you could tell us the rough size of the collection you have/maintain/wish to have, and a budget and space constraints, and we could better (maybe) guide you? What is important to you aesthetically?
