If you are still interested in doing this, Best Buy has a 4.5cu ft Frigidaire fridge/freezer on sale for $219.
I hate to admit it but I really screwed up in finalizing the install on my Sanyo fridge but I learned a valuable lesson that others my benefit from.
I made trim moldings to finish off the front of the cabinet and secure the fridge the same way that the original fridge was secured. I simply cut some 3/4' oak to fill the space between the cabinet and the fridge. Then I faced that with 1 1/2" x 3/4" thick molding that screwed into the space on one side and the fridge cabinet on the other. The mistake that I made was screwing the spacer into the side of the fridge with 1" long sheet metal screws. I figured, "what could it hurt, there's nothing but insulation between the sheet metal on the outside of of the fridge and the plastic interior of the fridge with about 3/4" of insulating foam in between". WRONG!!!!! Little did I know, there are refrigerant lines running back & forth in that area and I happened to puncture one and destroyed the fridge.
I spent the whole day installing the new Frigidaire fridge and trimming it out. This time, I used 3M VHB double sided tape to secure the new trim moldings to the fridge. Then screwed the trim moldings to the face of the cabinet. Now I just need to fill the screw holes and stain the wood.
