thermally managed 1U server rack solution

Well this is for some client. Four 1U rack servers will be housed in a semi outdoor location and i was very concerned about heat issues. Since they are dual processor servers and will be considerably loaded. And then at the magic moment of midnight, i came up with a funny idea of using a bevrage refrigator. The inside of the refrigator compartment is of perfect width matching 1U server, have metal protruding on the sides to hold the rack, have got a double glazed transparent glass door with lock. Quite secure, thermally managed and visible. i can keep a straight face everytime i think of this, buts its still doable. Only concern how to keep moisture away from a cold server when its pulled out for maintainence.
