The delip cup/shoebox would be placed in the water, so that a significant portion of it was submerged, without any risk of water actually getting into the incubation container. Depending on the size, I'd sometimes use a brick in the water, on which I'd set the incubation container onto. The entire contraption would then be closed with a lid, and the aquarium heater would be controlled by a rheostat or thermostat. You have to play with it a bit before actually using it in order to get the temperature just right, but it actually worked quite well, and was very cheap to build.

Now THAT'S old school. I read about that method in books when I was really little!
Keep your eye out on kijiji/craigslist for used fridges. If you gut one and put a computer fan or two in and rig it up with a RHP, it works wonderfully.
