The typical minifridge doesn't have enough cooling on the compressor to keep it from overheating. Cool the compressor and it'll run 24-7 just fine.
Run it stock, and you'll need a new minifridge in short order.
However, putting a heater core in a mini-fridge won't be able to dump your entire heatload from a CPU without modifying the condenser (the big heat radiating thing on the minifridge) too. Either active air movement on the condenser or a larger compressor (to move more refrigerant) would probably be needed.
However, I'm always interested in seeing how it works for you. Try it and let us know how YOUR setup worked!
