Need a fridge for my dorm room, any recommendations?

[BeauJangles]

Anyone had a good / bad experience with a particular brand of mini-fridge?

Are there any sites out there that review them?


Thanks 🙂

if you're an ATI fanboy ATI sells a minifrigde with their logo on it 🙂

Yeah, and you can overclock it and make it a freezer too, if necessary.

how are ATIs drivers for that model?

 

[TheGrandHooHa]

Poor support for Kitchen XP, but earlier models are fine.

 

[MatthewF01]

are those holes in the back hookups for some watercooling tubing?

 

[TheGrandHooHa]

I would have to assume so... the stock cooling, despite being a fridge, isn't really going to cut it if you want to run under 40* F.

you guys are such geeks lol. anyway, here you go. take your pick

 

[TheInvincibleMustard]

You guys are freaks. 😉

Anyway, I've lived in a dorm for the past three years and have had good success with the Haier models ... but c'mon, a fridge is a fridge, right? Just don't buy some $20 model and expect it to work real well or anything .... 😉

i rented one from the school. i think it was a GE. i'm not sure tho. it worked fine. a fridge is a fridge as long as it keeps things cold.

I agree with TheInvincibleMustard. A fridge is a fridge. I have some frdge that I bought 3-4 years ago for $60 and it still works like new. It doesn't look like new, but that's another issue. I don't remember the brand at the moment. But like I said, $60, 3-4 years. It was hardly a top-of-the-line supper fridge. It keeps my drinks cold so I don't have to get up off my @$$ to get one while I am in my office playing games 😉

I got my mini fridge for $10 from a veterinary clinic. It was used to hold "samples." Nonetheless, after four years the thing still works great.

Is that Fride Hardware to hold all the Beer Belly Software in it? 😀
Try Walmarts and get the software @ a Drivethru 😉

as entertaining as this thread is, does it really belong in GH? If off-topic isn't proper either, maybe we need an applience forum too 😉
