Picked up this nice dual zone wine cooler today. Took out the shelf that divided the zones and unplugged the thermoelectric cooler. I left the two interior fans to provide air circulation, and left the light in cause it looks awesome.
I am really glad I went with a thermoelectric cooler because I didn't really want to deal with the refrigerant! This was the easiest conversion ever.
Fan in the back, pretty light.
aaaand guts.
Now just needs some flexwatt to go with my herpstat and EGGS!!!

I took my thermoelectric Coolers out. Enlarged the area inside, so the lager heatsinks will fit. Flip the Coolers around so that the hot side is on the inside of the wine cooler. Sealed everything up real good. Then I wired the thermoelectric Coolers to a 12 volt powersupply then plug the powersupply to the thermostat. After a few adujustments with the temperature, I have a very awesome and accurate incubator. Thermoelectric wine coolers make great incubators. With a little reworking there is no need for heat tape.

Cool idea! I'm gonna just go with the flexwatt for now, but I suppose I always have the option to try that out.
