DC

I have to agree with you on the climate control approach.  The biggest 
weakness I see of the DC systems is that someone has to take ownership of 
keeping water in the thing.  For some people, this is not a problem as they 
are diligent in checking the thing.  But for others, they neglect it worse 
than their house plants.  A fully automatic system which requires no human 
intervention is the best all around approach.
