9/02/17A Cool New Addition To The ArcadeOver the summer we were busy getting my son Joshua prepped for college, including any dorm room items he may need. One of those items was a mini-fridge, with an average price tag of $150 for a nice one. We did have a good mini-fridge down in the arcade, and it occurred to me that why would I want to purchase another of the same? I always wanted a branded mini-fridge with a lighted see through door instead but the cost for a new one was astronomical. So the search was on for many months, trying to find a Rockstar, Monster or Red Bull mini-fridge in a manageable price range. I finally found one close by but with a catch, they were selling it for $50 because after an hour it started to get really, really loud. That means either it has bad fans, or the compressor was going out. For $50 I took a chance. I get it home, and it starts screaming after an hour of being plugged in. I stuck my head inside the door for a listen. Yep, thats bad fans! For another $25 I ordered new fans, installed them, and now have a beautiful Red Bull mini-fridge in the arcade. Cold drinks, caffeine and videogames go hand in hand. ![]() ![]() |
