Looks like a compressor cooled unit. If so, there are some extra things that you might want to consider doing to prevent it from dehydrating your cigars. See post #6 from GoatLocker here:

I'd also recommend ditching the kitty litter and getting HCM beads from CigarNut, they are much more stable and much faster to react to changes than KL.

Aside from that, nutcracker brings up some good points.

At the moment I will have to buy those HCM Beads slowly as the price is a bit up there for how much my unit would need (around 80 ounces). But I will integrate them, they sound wonderful.

Are you sure on the amount you'll need? I had ~2.5-3lbs in my old cabinet that was a lot larger in size, and it kept perfect humidity.

Maybe I did the math wrong. I have about 5.4 cubic feet of space, it said to get double. I am sure I messed something up.

The recommended amount applies to standard wood humidors, which do not always seal well and will dry out over time. Wine coolers usually seal much better and you can get by with the minimum. In any case, you can always buy less and add more later if you find that you need more. The more beads you have the more capacity your humidor has to buffer against changes.
