Hey,

Just got a new fridge today, so we're throwing this freezer away. I managed to persuade the 'rents to keep it abit longer so i can ask you lot if there's anything i can do with it.



*Sorry for blurriness, was in abit of a rush.

Thanks

No room for the freezer inside and it's not staying in the garden.

I didn't mean the freezer, i ment the compressor and radiator (is it?).

Strip the copper( and other valuable metals, if any. ) and sell it, use the money for PC upgrades.:)

Ac condensers generally produce a lot of humidity which is extremely bad for pc's.
Freezers use Freon which also creates humidity. Unless you have some serious sub zero type gear, I wouldn't even mess with it..lol.

Yeah you can try to get some cash for the copper, but you might not get much. For ex in my area I was only offered $15 for all the cooper windings out of an electric well pump and $10 for the cooper winding out of a pool pump. So call around and see what you can get in EU.

I have one sitting in my kitchen from a fridge. Supposedly they can pull a vacuum down to ~27 in. Hg. Use it for that.
