Some Pictures - my budget setup

I've been creating a lot of tools lately, and I've reached the point where I think I have an awesome setup, with very little cost. I got most of the tek ideas from the Shroomery, so most of this stuff should look familiar.
What my stuff looks like normally.

Opened up. On the left is one of three growth chambers, on the right is the incubation chamber (tub-in-tub w/ thermostat). On the bottom right is a humidifier with a three-section evaporation filter.

This is my incubation chamber. It currently holds about 30 jars, if packed tightly. I have a cheap Chinese fish-tank thermostat, which is slow but effective. I keep the air temperature at around 75-78°F.

This is my humidifier, and a few water jugs to allow for condensation. Sometimes I use it, but lately I've just been going with the monotub tek, and soaked perlite/vermiculite.

This is my rudimentary glove-box. If I need a 100% sterile environment, I can use the little hand-sleeve things in combination with rubber bands, and do so, but I've only had one (small) contamination out of 40+ jars just by leaving the holes open and using soap+water, and a little lysol spray.

A lot of that stuff was free, and a lot of it was cheap as heck. I also saved on the pressure cooker by using a cheap aluminum pot, which has yet to fail me as an effective PC alternative. Figured some of these might be good examples of low-budget ways to get started with cakes and the pk tek.
