Holy hell. Thanks for the link. That's the cheapest price I've ever seen for a fridge/cooling equipment
Heh, I'm buying that next paycheck.

Definately go for an a/c over a mini fridge. The fridges just don't have any power.

I'm not sure. It's my dad's. It's not a dedicated thermometer, but a multimeter with a thermometer adapter on it.

Fridges dont run 24/7. If you ran one as a chiller the compressor would burn out. A FREEZER would work but no where near as well as an A/C. To bad an A/C is so damned loud...

You can convert them to direct die but you would need to change the cap tube size, change the evap to a direct die block which you need to make or buy from baker18 than charge the system as well as add a flexi suction line. With all the work required you would be much better off building your own setup with a quiet compressor.

As far as a temp meter, I'm partial to the UEI brand. They run anywhere from 99-139. I myself have the UEI DT200 and I think I paid about 139 for it at Johnstone Supply.

hey what i did with my system was take a 1.8 mini fridge and gutted it so that all that was left was the compressor and then used 3/8 copper pipe for the return and 1/4 for the high side then all i did was use a maze 3 water block for the evaporator and it works great
the key to this system is to not over fill it or under fill it
and test for leaks

yea but a a/c compressor is really noisy and the whole point of having a compressor is to loose most of the noise

How do you figure? Compressors are used for phase change cooling, not for silent cooling. The point of having a compressor is to compress the refrigerant, not to make your system quieter. There isn't a more noisy component that you would replace with a compressor to reduce noise.
