well, obviously it wouldn't generate any more heat than a fridge in your kitchen generates... and using an old fridge may or may not be suitable for a boat, but in a home with a garage/attic/basement where it can run and not be heard or worried about the external heat generation, and you can put a UPS and switch inside and only have 2 cables going to/from while keeping multiple devices out of the normal environment.
Also, most fridges have thermostats, you can simply set it to the highest temp, which may not be good for food, but is sufficient to keep the devices cool enough, and save electricity compared to having to keep air conditioning at a lower temp or fridge at colder temp.
The idea is to use the fridge to protech/isolate the equipment from the environment.
I was going to use an old dorm fridge to store my readynas's in, but I gave it away to someone who needed it.
