Have any of you guys built custom kits out of refrigerator parts? If so could you please let me know if theres anything I can build from the parts I got?

Well a water chiller would probably be the easiest. Take the evaporator off and put it in the resevoir of a water cooling loop and you've got sub ambient temps. There's also direct die cooling but that is a lot harder since you have to attach an evaporator block to the system and recharge it. If you are interested in messing with phase change I would suggest another forum where there's more discussion on the topic.
