New case kinda I guess

I was just sitting here thinking wondering if it would be possible to mod a mini refrigerator into a pc case. I already know that I'm going to need to cut three holes or more if required to into the side. 1st for the power supply and 2 for the motherboard connections and other add on cards ex: video card, NIC card, ect, and all of the drive bays. I would seal around the holes and drives with a type of windows sealant so no moisture would get in and have 4 fans in the corners to circulate the air. Now I was just getting your guys thoughts on this idea and to see if it's even physically possible. Any thought or ideas on this would be great. Oh and I need an idea on how to stop the condensation.

Its been done before, but save yourself the trouble (and money for fridge) and get a watercooling system if you're so interested in lowering temps. It'll lower them better and be more convenient and require less work.

I already have the mini refrigerator actually 2. So I thought what the hell and I don't feel like paying $200 for water-cooling, and good to know it's already been done
