I found a great deal on a mini fridge the other day at Home Depot. They were selling the display model for $80, reg $130. I decided to get it even though it might not be ideal for converting to a corny-keg fridge.
Part of the problem is that it has a freezer section and so a 5-gal corny won't fit unless the freezer section is removed. But, most of the components of the freezer look easy enough to take out. Does anyone know how these so-called freezer compartments work? If I remove the enclosure, is there any way to disable it or, is that even necessary? Do they work just because it's a mostly-closed space close to the cold air? If that's the case then removing the enclosure shouldn't cause much of a problem. The rest of the fridge might run a little cooler, but maybe not even noticable.
