fridge incubator

So, I'm currently in the process of building a fridge incubator. So far I have 2 1' pieces of flexwatt (11"w), a Herpstat, and some Hatchrite (just in case :) ). I was wondering if you guys think that 2 ft of flexwatt is enough to keep the temps up? How much (ft.) of flexwatt would you recommend using for a full size fridge? The fridge is a little over 5 ft. tall.

Also, I'm going to install 2 computer fans inside the fridge. Do you guys recommend having them always running, or...?

Every thing you need to know.

You must post pics when completed :)

My fridge is 6 foot tall, and I used 6 foot of 11" heat tape. I don't know if this is overkill, but it works great. I am using a herpstat to run the flewatt, and it normally runs at around 10% to keep it 89F in the bator.
