Default Taking a radiator off of a fridge freezer unit.
My friend says his fridge is dying and his family is going to through it out. Is there any way to salvage the radiator? Also how would I go about doing this? I want to make a wc setup that also cools cokes. Also what are the safety procedures?

Well you could try to use the radiator from the frig... but:

1. Likely will be large and awkward.
2. Likely will be rusted / full of crap.
3. Likely will not use tubing that would fit most PC equipment.
4. You cannot cool a coke from a watercooling system unless you have a compressor...

See back when I was an Evil Druid I would encourage someone to engage in a futile task just to watch them struggle and fail...but now that I am a Good and Holy Druid I just tell them they are wasting their time and move on...

And the fridge compressor can't handle the heat output from PC parts.

Sure it can... just not 24/7. A dead compress (which is what kills refrigerators) won't do any good.

Sure, but you will need to get better cooling for the mini frig's compressor and condenser.
