    Re: Look at what I just picked up!

    Be wary of the fan. Alot of times once you get the incubator set up and running, you will notice that your temps are higher than you set them, and you can't figure out why they won't come down. Alot of times this is due to the fan motor body is putting out alot of heat, and the fans then distribute that heat. In an old incubator I built, I had to remove the original fans and put computer fans in that didn't generate heat. Just thought I would give you a hint I learned the hard way. I scratched my head for almost a week trying to figure that one out (finally shot the temps on the fan bodies with a temp gun, and saw 120 degrees).

    Hope that helps and congrats on your new project.
