Check it out! Got an early clutch today so I had to quickly perform some maintenance on my incubater. My old fans were too small, placed badly, and way too noisy.
I spent 20 bucks at radio shack for bigger, more powerful, quiet, blue LED computer fans. The result looks SO COOL in person. I love the blue lights! They stay lit all the time and it looks really neat. The fans and LED lights are only a total of just under 4 watts so it is nothing energy wise. With a life expectancy off 30,000 hours, I will have to replace them in about 6 years.
You would not believe how cool this looks in person.. And the fans are nice and quiet and provide WAY more air flow then the old ones. They are hot glued with risors so it is actually blowing towards the top of the cooler prividing excellent circulation without blowing directly on the egg tubs.
Now all I need is for my son to do some artwork on the outside with a black marker... I will get him working on that and post some pics when it is done... And I will post a pic with some eggs as soon as it gets up to temperature (takes several hours to get up to temp because bottom is covered in full water bottles to help stabalize the temps)
