Get a cheapcomputer fan - I got one for $5 at Frys. Then I wired it to an old cell phone charger. Plug it in and you're done. For ventilation, you can just drill some large holes in the side of the fridge.
I actually didn't put a fan or holes in my fridge because I open it all the time, but I live in a dry climate. The computer fan set-up is what I used in an egg incubator.
Hope this helps - if you want pictures, let me know.

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it probably needs more time on the grill!
Hi Nuynai - good posts from CW. I can't find a good picture of my particular fan setup.
But the details of the charcuterie fridge are really well laid out in the post CW referenced.
The fan detail I was talking about has to do with supplying power to a cheapo ($5) computer fan, which you can't just wire directly into 110 AC, your typical wall outlet. I think any old castoff cell phone charger will do. Clip off the end of the cable that goes into the phone, strip back the insulation, and then twist it together with the wire coming from the fan's cable. Now plug your fan into wherever you are plugging in your other stuff.
A cheap computer fan is nice, because it doesn't move to much air. Some people wire their fan to come on and off with the humidifier, which makes sense because then it is not on too often and over-drying your sausage. Maybe someone can show how to do that as I have not thought it through.
