Damn!! What a _great_ idea... Of course, condensation _would_
be at a minimum since you wouldn't have to open the fridge except
to do hardware upgrades. And there are moisture-absorbing crystals
that you can also put in the fridge.

What's louder, a refrigerator compressor that kicks on occasionally
or PS/case/CPU cooling fans and disks that constantly spin?

You'd also need to mount your CD/DVD/floppy drives in the door
some how, or in the freezer, which would be turned off, of course.
