yeah, it was. It also had humidity and airflow controls.

You can eliminate the need for a humidity sensor by using a combination wet and dry bulb thermomitor setup. I was not able to find a wireless humidity sensor (I'm a cheap bastard, so weather station stuff was pretty much out), so I used a couple 433MHz of wireless thermo units from walmart.
Since my grow-closet has a fan inside to keep air circulating (humidity will stratify in chambers with lots of vertical space, also a problem in large humidors) I place the two temp sensors in front of it, one wrapped in a bit of cheesecloth that is kept wet in a water resovoir. This kind of sensor works just fine in a condensing environment, unlike most of the reasonably priced digital sensors I find. I calibrated the output against a regular needle type hygrometer to make sure the air was moving quickly enough for the RH calculations to work.
To get the signal to the computer I built an AVR microcontroller based receiver out of the RF module from the wireless base station (the RF board is a seperate module with a 2-wire interface, very easy to use). When a temp reading comes in from one of the three possible sensors (I'm only using two), the microcontroller sends it to the computer over the serial port. I wrote a simple program that keeps the environment in the right range. It runs on an old 486 laptop with a Firecracker X10 transmitter to handle the humidifer, fresh air fan, and the light that provides temp control.
The wireless temp monitors are only $15 bucks at walmart, and I already had all the X10 stuff, so it ended up being pretty cheap. I did have it set up with an X10 cam in the grow chamber, but they are really poor in low light and it seemed really cheesey to make the computer read a screen-shot of an LCD to get the temp 
Here is the receiver for the temp sensor, you can find them at wal-mart, over by the air filters.

Ok, here's our advanced and automated inoculation method:
An agar culture is transferred to a sterilised blender with sterile water.
The blender is turned on and the agar culture is fragmented into tiny particles.
This mycelium broth is diluted over two bottles with sterilise water.
This is the peristaltic pump that will be used to pump to liquid inoculum into the bags. On top is a device we built, ourselves...
...It is a timer with a foot switch, so that the pump will deliver the same amount every time the pedal is pressed 
A silicone tube is fitted with a half syringe that is screwed tight. The tube itself is sterilised in the pressure cooker, The bottle with lliquified mycelium is in the flow cabinet, the tube goes into the bottle, then to the pump, then to the needle.
The bags are first soaked with alcohol, and left to stand for a few minutes. They are then wiped dry with a tissue and the needle is introduced. The footpedal is pressed, and presto, 10-100 ml is squirted in.
The bags are sealed with a hotglue gun.
Growth is fast.
The end result, healthy spawn!
I also use this setup to fill tubes with agar for my tissue culture plants.

Una: Nice tek - thanks for posting.
How many of the bags are you inocultating this way during a day?

We can do about 100 bags in an hour using this method. Contamination is practically down to zero

Most of that is covered in this thread, or elsewhere. Use the search function! I already posted detailed inventories for those tents, no need to post them here.

Woow, that sounds good (and very professional) !
How do you sterilize so many bags at once ?

Actually we have three #925 cookers so we could sterilise 30 of these bags in day (that's two batches). If you save them up from a few days you would have a nice batch.

very nice setup you have there poke smot!
however, for me its a matter of very basic math.
extra effort to set it up + me being lazy = fucking forget about it
