Good job Bryan
Posting your experiences in such detail really helps other 'newbies' (like myself) in the terrarium/orchidarium world! I can totally relate with the loud computer fan thing - do you have it wired to an adjustable adaptor? I'm assuming it's a 12V fan which may be too strong - lowering the voltage will provide a more gentle breeze and also be less noisy. Are you using a water-proof fan?
Also, how do you prevent the water from the mister splashing everywhere? Mine makes a lot of mist, but it also produces a jet of water that inconveniently splashes everything.
