Cigars/Home made humidors

Question
We have a beautiful antique carved oak ice box.
The food storage compartment is approx. 12" Deep, 18" high and 20" wide.
I'd love to be able to store 100 - 150 cigars.
What humidification equipment should I be looking for?
Would it be advisable to place some other type of container inside?
The safest thing to do is to place a Humidor inside the cabinet.
If it is antique you do not want to ruin it but you can...
Line the inside with Spanish cedar and put in an Oasis humidification device. Leave the cigars in their original boxes they come in.
Make sure there are no unusual smells in the cabinet that will ruin the cigars.
