incubator build

Just finished my little incubator build! I built it out of a wine cooler, that I found in the garbage. I wanted an incubator that I could just flick a light on and see if any have hatched without having to pull them out. I also wanted it to be fairly efficient. Everything used i had laying around other than the dc converter. I used strip lighting i had, that was leftover from my boat rebuild. It is wired to a switch that i hot glued to the side. I used the fan that was in the fridge already to circulate the air so that it would be evenly heated, and I used heat tape around the side instead of the bottom so that i could put egg containers on the bottom. For a thermostat i chose a ranco. I know it's not perfect, but just wanted to share for any of you diy'ers out there. Any questions, shoot.
