I think I paid Sing$450 (US$1=Sing$1.7 approx) for each of the Akaruis. They are 400 mm wide, 400 mm deep and 800 mm high. That is about 128 litres by my calculation. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< I too used 2 dehumidifiers for storing my photo gears. It works well. For the relative simple mechanism, I couldn't understand why it cost more than the frigdes 3 to 4 the size:-)), and it is not make by Leica. Prior to the days of the dehumidifiers, I stored my geras in a number of air-tight containers with silica gels. It works well too, but one has to refresh the gel every 2 to 3 weeks. Never have problems with fugus when stored that way. Can't say the same for my golf shoes though. I suspect shoe bags promotes the growth of fugus, and was quick to retire the shoe bags :-))) MC Lau Malaysia Singapore
