Water cooler in a minifridge

Kind of a random thought. Has anyone tried putting a radiator/reservoir inside a mini fridge and keeping it next to your PC? I know people have put entire pcs in a fridge and it doesn't do much. The thing with just slapping a radiator in a mini fridge is that you could still use the fridge. Imagine having all your energy drinks or whatever right next to your PC. My main concern was condensation, but im not sure if it would even get that cold. I've seen all kinds of crazy s#!t cooling pcs but they all kind of seem to take too much space and be impractical. Ive heard of putting a aquarium chiller in the reservoir but isn't that just an extra power cord comming out of the case?

This does not work, a mini-fridge only has around 50W of cooling power. It will quickly overheat and die as it cannot cool down the air from the radiator. The fridge is also not designed to cool a sustained heat load.
