Keith, I have a silly question, so please bear with me. Is the frigsjust used as a storage shell or is it also plugged in and cooling? Ferdie, I see where yours has the cooling guts removed, but Keith's still has the attached freezer unit, so it's hard to tell (except there's no big block of ice).

jaime...would be cigar suicide to plug in a traditional fridge such as this....the condenser would suck out all the humidity...plus the high temp on a fridge is usually way too cold (like 51 or so on the thermostat) ...I originally thought I might need to cool it and had a "plan" but the room where it is never gets too hot so it all worked out!

This is a great idea! I am always one for "upcycling" and repurposing things. Looks awesome.
