Re: [DIYbio] Re: Great Article June Popular Science

The incubator in question was a repurposed mini-fridge from The
Sharper Image, which came with a built-in Peltier to keep food and
drinks either hot or cold. It ran on 12V DC or 120VAC, and was
designed to be left heating for hours at a time, but only to one
temperature; that's where the lighting timer came in.

Carolina was more than happy to deliver to my apartment in SF. This
was in 2008; I don't know whether things have changed since then.
