Nema 12 server cabinet w/attached 5000 BTU AC unit :) Gonna set you back $5000 dollars though and you may have to do some modifications depending on how you set everything up.

A solid way to waste money every month on electricity. Because food does not generate heat, the fridge can stay cool for a long time while only running for a few hours a day. With the computer on, it generates heat that has to be pumped out and actively cooled, so the fridge will be running a LOT instead of the compressor being in an idle/off state.

NOOOOPE!.

 

no really ,, dont .

 

Standard fridges and freezers are not cabale of handlign a constant heat load. they are designed to initialy bring down temperatures to a set level, and keep it there with minimal input of heat.

If you had a constant heat load from a PC, the compressor in said fridge or freezer would fail, as the rest of the system would not be able to expel the extra heat.

The difference between a refrigeration system designed with a heat load in mind, and a freezer or fridge, is the 'active' cooling. For example an AC has a proper condenser with a fan, a freezer simply has a coil on the back for passive cooling.

Fridges aren't capable of cooling something that actively produces heat. Nor do they have great ventilation anyways. Also super expensive energy and first buy wise. Also if it somehow did work, the freezing temp's might condensate and cause your pc to short out. So no, that is not a good idea
