anyone used an "incukit" for the fan/heat/thermastat

I saw this item advertized on the incubatorwarehouse.com and was curious if anyone has used one of these in their incubator? Looked like it may be a good product for a cabinet incubator. Heres the link

I was going to purchase one but finished buying the fan from amazon and the flexwatt and thermostat from reptilebasics.com

Hi,

Does the fan part run independently of the heater part?

I'm not certain but I think you would want the fan runnign constantly to prevent heat differences but obviously you wouldn't want the heater running permanently unless it was properly regulated via a proportional thermostat.

I still haven't built a cooler incubator though so have no practical advice to offer only what I have read of others experiences.

yeah I see over priced crap :P

No way to adjust fan speed, heat comes from too small of a source and would potentially cause hot spots.
The heater stops the fan stops, not good.
Incubators should use proportional thermostats, that one is not.

I see lots of potential problems with that set up.

Why don't you get something like this for under $20?
