Check the CP store and some vendors that are referenced 'often' on here...AND use 'search' to see what others have done.

I would say...for the money you are looking at....buy new.

Well that would be the first cabinet I've seen made out of sheetrock... Wouldn't this is easier and more aesthetically pleasing to build a traditional cabinet? You could also find a regular cabinet and modify it for cigar storage (this is what I would do if I was looking for a less expensive approach). What are you currently using for cigar storage?

You need to look for a different humidifier. The one you're proposing is not made for a cabinet humidor and will have a minimum wetting distance that exceeds the limits of your cabinet. Look into the units made by CMT or Avallo for something more appropriate (and about the same price).

well whats going on is that I have a set of open sided stairs so Im closing them and the other side of it will be the humidor. So I would need sheetrock

Plastic sheeting, and green board, then luan. Green board is handles moisture MUCH better than plain sheet rock
