Dishwasher as parts washer?

If I attempetd it, it would be from a 20 buck craigslist dishwasher that I will show absolutely no respect to. If it burns up, gaskets start to leak, pump fails..its just closer to the curb for the scrap guys to pick up for free. Not alot of investment on my end. Im just trying to find a place where I can set it up...Dang, this might work! http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/app/2760941719.html and the woodgrain will match...nothing!
