True Cooler Build Questions

Yeah the only ones i find are 2 or 3 door ones. To big to fit in my house.

Sweet pickup. I've been trying to find one on craigslist for a while, but the y cheapest I found was 250

Yeah, I was having this same problem for awhile. I was looking everyday and all I was finding was ones that people wanted way too much for. Then over the weekend, I was just browsing and found this one for $75. Only problem is that the seal on the door is ripped down one side, to replace the entire seal is about $40, not sure if I need to do this or not may just try to rig it, still looks like it makes decent seal. And then the lights do not work on it, think its the ballast, which would be another $40 to replace if I decide I want light. Trying to figure out if I can take one of the cheapo shop light figures apart and take a ballast from one of them or finding some sort of LED light fixtures that I can light the inside when needed.

Let alone they are ridiculously heavy.

Anyways, since I am not going to need this for awhile, I have also been thinking about building in its own thermostat. I have been working on an arduino 4 channel temperature controller, and it has been working pretty good although quite a bit unpolished. I think it might be cool to change it to a single channel, but have 3 other temperature probes that could be placed wherever for indication purposes, or maybe even take all 4 inputs and be able to split the difference on the min and max temps for the output control. Plus since it is an arduino, I can throw in some relays to control the lights and then figure out how to even control the fan speeds.
