I have previously converted a mini fridge (GE 18or 20"w) to a great working incubator, and about to convert a stacker2 mini bar cooler that was a promotional bar item.
My questions are regarding the fridge itself and i am wondering if anyone has experience with these mini coolers...
it does not appear to have any coolant system, but it could have tubing in between the walls, don't really think so...
it has two heat sinks, each with it's own fan and processor, this is what I am confused about...I do not think it is a true refridgerator in the 'coolant' sense of the word, but is using thermostats and heat sinks to remove warmth from the air, any explanation would be helpful if anyone knows how this operates...
Ideally, i would like to drill a hole & wire this for a DBS-1000 w/o ruining what can possibly be used later for a drink cooler once i do not need it as a second incubator anymore...
thanks for your help...
