I have the exact same one. Mine was fully functional but had glue on the glass from a cabinet door that was on the front to match their bar. I got it free and gutted it, leaving only the functioning light.
I took out the racks so that there are 3 levels - bottom w/glass and two shelves. It holds 6 Iris shoebox tubs. I put 1/2" screen on the racks, so the boxes would be stable, held on by zip ties.
I put a dc computer fan at the top rear over the 11" flexwatt and one on the bottom front. There's water bottles at the lowest point. I also reversed the door so that hole in the center is at the bottom.
If I did it over I would use two strips of 3" 10 watt flexwatt along the back instead of the 11", floor to ceiling but not under any tubs. I would also remove the glass panel on the bottom shelf and put something there that would let the air flow through.
Best place I found to put the thermostat probe is inside a tub on the center shelf to start. I put thermometer probes in all of the tubs (already set up with vermiculite and water) and checked the difference in temps. You must make up all of the tubs the same way to get consistant results. Once everything is stable you can move the probe outside the tub and try to find the best spot.
Only thing I don't have is the eggs.
