    My IDW G8 Monster fridge!!

    2 - 11" strips of flexwatt on a Herpstat
    48 - bottles of water to retain heat against the door openeing
    2 - PC Fans on a switch in the hood
    3 shelves for now, can add more..
    probe sealed in a middle tub
    I-Hook to make sure it stays shut no matter what

    and i think thats it... its taken me a good chunk of time to get it all figured out how i want it and whatnot.. this was my first incubator build and i think it turned out awesome

    48 water bottles might be a little excessive, expecialy if you got 2 -11" pieces of flexwatt... if your tubs are sealed, id guess that they would retain the heat until the flexwatt cought up.... this might also allow you a little more tub space..
    easy experiment,,,,,, open the door for 3 minuets, close it, and see how long it takes the stat to regain temps in the tub, and in the incubator temps ,,, then take out ALL the bottles, let incubator stabalize,, and then copy the first experiment.. im kinda doubting that your gonna loose any temp in the tubs.. PIMP bator BTW!

    Insane incubator, I agree test your water bottle efficiency while its empty.

    yea i didnt know about the bottles or not so thats why i put them in there (plus it was buy one get one) but i found this on craigslist fully stripped out of all that junk from a scrapper so it was really nice to just have a shell to start working with.. had to drill a hole to put all my extra wires through and all that jazz :) all sealed now and doing well
