You could indeed gut a fridge/freezer and use it, I haven't done it but I'm sure you could.
Your fridge, so you want to gut it?
If it has no refrigerant in the pipes your laughing. Just pull all the old bits you don't want, just watch the compressor if turned up the wrong way oil could leak out and spoil the carpet/rug.
If it has got gas inside, there are two routes, I'm going to advise on the correct legal way to do things.
Take the unit to a refrigeration repairer and see if they can reclaim the gas for you. Once the gas is gone your free to play as you wish safely.
The second route and the not so environmentally friendly way, take refrigeration device outside and cut a pipe then move away sharpish.
I think just make sure the gas is empty and work in ventilated area, drilling a hole through the skin of a fridge under pressure makes you jump and is somewhat dangerous.

I would think it would work (Yep I'm a Noob) But I make sure you have plenty of ventilation. A Frige or freezer are airtight and insulated. So I would think you would have heat and condisation issues without alot of moving air. Just my 2 cents and I'm learning so take it for what it's worth
Good Luck Bro

yea, and get a fridge with a tall skinny freezer on the side. you could use the drawer spots in the bottom of the fridge for hydro nute solution, use the freezer for a mother, clones and maybe propagation depending on size. get on that has a compresser near the top of the back, make sure the compresser is set into the back of the fridge. this way you know theres room for a semi-flush mounted squirrel fan.
