Ok bought a styrofoam cooler
1 thermastat
1 dual hygrometer
wire cloth
1 lamp kit
have surge protector and 25W bulbs
wire connectors.

What am I missing????

This should be interesting since I am not electricaly proficient (just a game programmer....)
 
I am doing a Miss Prissy / GopherBoy / Speckled Hen Incubator. I have all the things that you metioned. In addition, I have

PC Fan from Old Computer
Adaptor cord to power the PC Fan
Bowl for in the bottom to hold water
Night Light to have in there if I want to view things when the type is OK.
I am use Old Pill Bottles with Lids to plug holes in the side (GopherBoy idea) because I did not have any corks and have plenty of pill bottles.
I am using Ziploc Bag with Water instead of Water Wiggler, because I have not gotten to WalMart to purchase one yet.
Piece of glass or plexiglass to put in the top of the cooler for viewing
 
ahh yes the fan, have an old computer laying around here somehwere will use the fan from that. Piece of glass I'm sure I have that laying around someplace.....

If you can't find a water wiggler at walmart because of christmas items being out... maybe they packed them up.... I had trouble with it.. but finally did fine them at the Dollar store...

Warning regarding the use of ziplock HM wigglers... twice mine leaked ... hours later came home to find HUGE humidity spike and had to dry out the bator both times.

If you can't find a wiggler, someone gave me good advice to look for the gel crystals that absorb water (floral supplies) and use those in the HM ziplock wiggler to avoid any water leakage... that is a great idea but I couldn't find that stuff either.
