When I purchased a new fridge I kept the old one with an eye to Summer brewing. The compressor is bung and I've not fixed it. I use it as an insulated brewing box. By adding a couple of frozen water bottles in the morning and evening it's pretty easy to control the temperature. I've noticed that I can cut back on the ice after the first few days (seems more heat is generated during the initial fermentation).
I'd say that it's easier to run a fridge with a temp controller but so far this is working very well and I'm pleased with the results. There's room for a bucket fermenter and a jerrycan secondary.
cheers
