For one, it looks better than a cooler
I won't be using it for climate control, just humidity control of my long-term storage sticks.

I have already started on it. All of the wiring, coils, condenser and controls are removed. I also took the freezer part out because it was wasting space that I'll need for stacking boxes. I plan to use the defrost tray that was under the freezer for beads. A Spanish cedar tray (16" wide) will slide in above it. The crisper tray in the bottom will also hold singles. I have some more work to do in that department but it'll be done a lot sooner that I originally thought.

I think one fan (from a copier) will be all I need. Has anyone used one of those before?
