    What are the temps with the power on? Are the divided sections air tight? U prob. could get by with a small amount of 3" flexwatt.

    It's room temp with it on, and yes the cooler is air tight and I'll be using 11" flex watt.

    Also, I took out everything that you see but the fan.

    Funny, I have the same model, but the computer was missing so I need to wire the fans and lighting. I was going to put the heat tape on the back wall inside the false compartment where the fans are. Pretty easy to open up. I too was thinking 11", but I don't think it will fit it there, so was thinking a 3" strip about a foot or so long down the back. Truthfully should be plenty, as it is air tight. Good luck. Would love to see a video of how yours turns out. Do you have the temp sensors/ door readouts working too? I got mine for free, so I can't complain about having to wire it up. let me know if you know a place to order the keys from.

    Sorry watched it again and see the readouts. Sweet deal. Would love to have paid the $40 and have everything working.

    Haha, thank you, I'll be sure to post the final product here. I'll look into the 3 inch. I should have some laying around, but I bought a bunch of 11". We'll see.
