Good application.

Rigging up two fans with a thermostat seems like a fairly easy operation.

A small version of this fridge could also be rigged up to a kitchen window. I wouldn't want to loose the light, but I was at a friend's Chicago town house last weekend, and the only view out their kitchen window was the side of the next building anyways.

If more ideas like this were integrated directly into the original building design, it would be done nicer, more convenient, and less expensively.

In my area, many older houses have a small door in the wall right off the kitchen where the milkman would leave the milk. A door on the outside opened for the milkman to drop it off, and a door on the inside opened for the householder to grab the milk. This "milk-door" would be a great place to build an ecofriendly mini-fridge!
