Would it be relatively easy to turn this freezer into a fermentation chamber?

Because the cooling lines are on the racks? I ruined an old refrigerator by trying to bend the cooling lines to accommodate a carboy.

Thinking about buying this off of craigslist to try. Thoughts? Suggestions?

Thank you!

The shelves are not removable in this type of upright freezer. I've heard of people bending them, but not getting much more than a few months off the elements as a result.
You would really have to build out an insulated collar in front of the racks at least the width of your fermenter (much like a lot of people do with keezers). Alternately, build a separate insulated fermentation chamber with this providing the cooling. Either way, to use as a fermentation chamber you'll need to mod it in some way.
