What do you use to keep eggs cool before incubating?

[frenchblackcopper]

I have an old fridge out in the garage that if I put a bucket of ice in will keep the temps inside close to 60 degrees when it's 90 degrees inside the garage.At night as it drops down in the 60's or so,it stays pretty much steady.But ice is getting in demand with it being so hot,and at times I found myself short.
Tonight while trolling e-bay I came across the perfect solution that will serve a dual purpose when not keeping pea eggs cool.
I found a 3 rack wine cooler(add another spot on the very bottom for 4 racks-rows) with digital temp setting and digital readout.Temps can be set from 50 degrees up to 80 degrees,each rack holds 3 wine bottles,(12 total counting the floor or very bottom),from the inside measurements I bet I can get 30 eggs in it easy!! Now if I could just find a way to make about 4 autoturners fit life would be easy here.

No basement or cool closet? Mine stay cool to the touch inside my closet, and if it gets warm in there the basement stays around 60, sometimes lower. If I put them in a carton on the cement it sucks heat away easily.
