    Check out Restaurant supply distributors. They frequently have stuff available. I's go the free fridge route and mod the door with acrylic if you need a see through front. I just placed temp probes in the tubs on each shelf and have no need to open mine with the displays on the outside.

    Along with the restaurant supply distributors as Corey mentioned. You can also ask them where they dump the non-working units. Some suppliers sell them to scrappers, and the scrappers are only interested in the copper tubing and internals. That is how I found mine which is 27 cubic ft in size with a full glass front. The scrapper only wanted the copper and aluminum and under 100.00 it was mine. For the set up, I popped the the probe through the back wall and ran a Vivarium 200 for proportional heating. Just look around, and ask the suppliers and you'll be surprised where that will lead you.

    Where to find glass front fridge?
    I got mine on craigslist with a blown motor for 75. Just make sure the seals around the door are good. Mine was a old Gatorade cooler

    Try the resturaunt supply stores like people have suggested.

    Restaurant supply companies deal with brand new or used WORKING equipment... you'd be better off trying a refrigeration repair company. (I would know, I work for one! [emoji38]) Just call and ask if they have any non-working mini fridges, wine coolers, or small glass front commercial refrigerators they would like to sell.

    At the company I work for, it's not uncommon for someone to bring in one of those items, balk at the cost of repair (a replacement compressor often costs as much as an entire brand new unit if it's not under warranty), then don't even come back to pick it up. Ultimately they just end up getting scrapped.
