Humidor recommendations?

Ok, so I'm on the hunt for a new humidor. I'm getting some money put towards it for my birthday. Been looking at/liking the Trivoli from Tampa Humidors..

Heres what I'm looking for:

- Cabinet/end table size
- ~ $300, maybe a bit more
- Good seal
- Room for boxes in the bottom and single storage as well
- Glass/see-through front

If you have one like this and can recommend where to get it and what model I would appreciate it. Oh, and I also need recommendations on what humidification unit to use.

I got a 300 ct. Ravello from cheaperhumidors and while I like it for only a couple more dollars I could have gotten a Vinotemp.

Get the Vinotemp and you'll have a lot of storage that is climate controlled and you'll have the see through door like you wanted with a good seal and it is a lot less than $300.

I have that same one. Got it on C-Bid (damn that site) for like $80. Use an Oasis Ultra in it. That is my testerdor box.

Hydra. You can use any of those active humidification systems that will cover 8 cubic feet of space. I just upgraded to the Hydra LG, because I got it for cheap. It has a mounted plug inside of it as well.

Here is a picture I just took....
