My friend and I are going to be doing a mod involving putting a minifridge inside a computer case. The problem is, we need to find a computer case that is large enough to accomodate the fridge area and a working computer. Does anyone have any ideas?

build the case from scratch to acomidate what goes in it. Then you truely have creative freedom on the case. Also make sure you guys understand the condensation factor, do some serious research on this type of project before starting. I have heard of some major tragedy stories, as well as working ones. Good luck to you.

You do realize this wont work... The fridge wont be able to handle the constant heat load unless it is a large chest freezer (which a mini-fridge isnt). Dont try it unless you know what you are doing of it will simply be a waste of money.
he said "fridge in a computer" not the other way around, so constant heat has nothing to do with it.
sounds like a good idea, you could get a tower that has about the same measurements about the bezel then relocate the drives to somewhere else and put the fridge in the front part of the case and mod in the power switches and take the heat coil off of the fridge and put it somewhere on the outside of the case or something.
anyways just my $.02, good luck with that though

How big of a fridge are we looking at here? I'll have to agree with JEEVES that custom fabbing your own case is probably the best, if not the only way to go..
