We have a "McDry" cabinet. It works well.

We use Super Dry. The oldest ones are about 5 years old and we haven't had a problem.

If you're looking for something for less than $5-10k, you should consider setting up a point-of-use air drying system. If you can supply fairly dry air from a house system to the point of use dryer, you can acheive humidty levels below 2% easily.

We use LA-MAN equipment for drying. It's hooked up to a basic dry cabinet with grounded shelves and we have a constant RH monitor hooked up. This whole system was put together for about $2500 and we are running below 1% RH.
