The vicinity of a fridge is hotter than anywhere else in the area. A
fridge is a heat pump, it pumps heat out of the fridge into the
surrounding air. Next to a fridge is a very bad place to put heat
sensitive equipment.

Putting a PC in the fridge might seem logical, it would certainly be
cool. However, the inside of a fridge tends to be very moist. PCs do not
like this. I havn't tried it:)

In computer rooms we use air conditioners. $$$.
