"...Glass fronted frige does sound good. is the wiring difficult?..."

You can pretty much do it as elaborate as you want to. But it shouldn't be anymore difficult than the wiring for a rack. I used 10ft of 11" flexwatt. 5ft down each side, connected to a Herpstat proportional thermostat. I also have a flourescant light (original fixture) down one side, and a small fan mounted to the ceiling, both with separate switches, and a rheostat on the fan. Don't run the fan or light from the thermostat! Mine has a "compartment" at the top for a lighted advertising sign. The sign was missing, so I took out the lighting equipment and mounted all my electrical in there. I used a power strip with circuit breaker to feed all of the components. I made a new panel to cover all that stuff out of foam board. Expanded PVC would probably be better, but I didn't have any.

Oh, since this pic was taken, I have trimmed the flexwatt at the bottom, and added a piece of styrofoam insulation to the floor.
