That is enough for me to worry that these fans may overheat in an incubator (cabinet).

The small Helix fan that I posted is NOT to big for his incubator.
If you read the description, these fans are adjustable (different speeds).
I also know that these fans can work for his size incuabtor because thats what I am using them in. Something of very similar size. I am not stating that these fans are the best, or the only ones that can work, or the cheapest. But they are plug-n-play, advertised specifically for incubators and COULD work for his application.
the fans are ment to pull heat away, it needs ventilation to do this, it actually states "use cooling fans during summer, in warm areas with little or no air movement, or in areas with equipment that generates excess heat." I see no reason to worry, its a computer fan with clips on it. and now that im looking the cfm is pretty low for 2x fans, as its only 31 and most 80x80 fans are 30 cfm themselves, so it probably good for what you need.

and if helix would of put that information with the rest of the bullet points I might have seen that.
