Could I please get a few links to larger incubators for sale? Id love to build one, but seeing how I'm not the best building in the world and do not want to risk anything, I would rather buy one. I like the Pepsi/coke machine incubators so I might be persuaded? Anyone's opinions are highly welcomed!

This one looks really well build

Casey's incubators are nice, they work well and he has great customer service.
If you want a large fridge size incubator you might want to check out this site from Clay Davenport. I used the link below to reference when I was building one for myself.

Try to find a Coca cola frig and do a D.I.Y., it will be less on the pockets.

I'm building one right now out of a coke frig and I'm just waiting on my Spyder Robotics, I love how it came out.

I have this one for 6 years and still going strong, it holds 9 clutches.

I am a fan of recycled pop display fridges.. hold the temps very well, easy to convert to an incubator and you can see inside..

Here is a pic. its a shorter model about 5ft tall. I decided to use bigger egg boxes than the one in the pic that way I can have more substrate.. Once I start making loads of eggs I will probably have to switch back to smaller boxes again.

And how do you guys find all of these coke fridges?

Be diligent with want ads and craigslist, check out appliance repair shops for broken ones, and just keep your eyes open.

I'm lucky to have gotten a two level 'dorm' fridge for $20 off the List, since I can't drive and thus can't pick up stuff myself. I wish I could get one of the smaller wine coolers or coke fridges, but I would need someone with a truck to help me out... *sigh* Oh well, I have metal cutting saw blades and plexi
