You can build custom   incubator for e.g. eggs, with controlled temperature, using up-side-down placed aquarium.

To heat air, you can use water heater (cost $3-4) like this one:

Don't plug it directly to AC, but through adjustable voltage regular like this one:

Place inside also digital thermometer, and quiet fan (from old computer), which will be mixing air all the time.

Adjust voltage until receiving appropriate temperature for eggs or whatever you are incubating inside.

 

..or use thermostat (I have this model, costed $2.6)

*) aquarium is big enough to hold the all elements, and have transparent glass, so you will be able to see what is happening inside during experiment.

What sort of incubator and do you have any pictures?

school computers are finicky to do pictures with and it did not work well I had to figure out a way to make it heat up and I forgot to make a cover and something to keep it playing.

I mean was this for eggs or microorganisms?

It's all cool. Tinkering is good for its own sake.
