08/11/07 later that evening

now i had a slight problem. my food and heatmat was ordered with another website and is not coming till mid next week due to a delay.

he was fine for now with the heat pad that came in the packing

so i had to get the little bugger a set up providing the right heat.

nerd impulses took over at this point and i managed to bodge up a temp gauge and a heater in one.

simple set up just a power charger with a standard pc power outlet. then plugged into a fan controller from an old pc case.

the temp sensor for the cpu went in with the spiderling. obviously i didn't add any fans ....lol

then i just got him the right distance away with a bit of insulation. and he was toasty.

here is the finished heat box.. it was reading 26.8 here but it leveled out at 27 a nice temp for the little guy.
