I got them from this user on ebay as they seem to have the cheapest

I don't remember how much I paid for tax and all that
I went with this cooling even though its a little smaller than I would have liked just because of the glass door. Love the fact that I can check out my meats without having to open the door and create an inconsistent environment. A thing to note though, is out of the box, the base temperature of the bev center is around 40-44 degrees F. I read that the ideal temperature is between 34-40, so I had to tweak the internal thermostat a bit. This was a huge help. It took me a few days to calibrate it to the temp range I wanted, but for how it seems to be holding steady around 38 degrees which is fine by me.
The humidity doesn't seem like something I can control too well. I live in SF and the humidity of my room stays about 70-80%, but the bev center with nothing in it stayed around 30-40%. That's a little too low for my liking, and even adding a bowl of water didn't seem to help. With the meat inside, it stabilized around 60%, which I'm a little more happy with. I would prefer it hit around 65%, but that doesn't seem like it's going to happen.
The depth of the bev center is a bit too shallow to get a whole roast in, so I ended up having to cut it in half.
I lined the walls with salt blocks, but the grates are only around 7/8". I ended up having to expand the space of the edges with a crowbar so the salt blocks could fit.
I added the fan on the bottom to add circulation. The cord is small enough where I didn't have to mod the bev center door so that it could fit through.
All in all, I like how the rig turned out. I probably should have taken some intermediate pictures, but oh well.
Let me know if there's anything else you would like some clarification on.

Purchase a fan. You want one with a metal cage rather than a plastic cage. http://www.amazon.com/Westpointe-Electrical-Velocity-1002-Personal/dp/B000WEIJ7K/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1407440987&sr=8-2&keywords=metal+desk+fan
Or just look around at your local stores.
It's in my 8 by 12 foot bedroom, next to a mostly-north facing window. It never gets sunlight directly shining on the grow media unfortunately. right now the forced air heat is on, and sometimes I have my ceiling fan on low.
would something like these nearby help? Lasko clip fan 6 inch or West point 4 inch
Not the most portable but get yourself one of these. I find that the actual laptop fans that you sit the laptop on or whatever just do not cut it at all. I keep mine on the side where it gets the hottest and it cools it down very quickly. This fan is strong and as a bonus I can usually aim it to hit the laptop and me at the same time :P Double cooling.
