An old fridge works really good once you've gotten all the Freon out of it...Pretty much anything that will keep in heat as well as moisture and it has to be controllable...

ive had great success with just simple lunch style rubbermaids with a few holes and vermic in it. if your room is a fairly constant 20+ they should hatch no problem. you can go as complicated as you want but in most incubator sytems it is this same little rubbermaid put inside another micro environment. so beit a fridge, a room, or a styrofoam box it doesnt matter so much. as long as your temps/humidty are good they are for the most part dark and water doesnt drip directly on it you should be fine :)

Theres the Bird incubators, reptile incubators, and home made.
Reptile incubators are just modified bird incubators.
Home made come in many types:
Fridge, styrofoam, aquarium, trash can, cooler, etc.
Ill post more info later, im at school right now, but ive got links at home on my computer that ill post here for you to look at...

This isnt for reptiles, its for growing mushrooms, but its still an incubator:
