Would you use this cracked frame?

So, I got this aluminum bike knowing that it has two cracks in the frame - the parts were interesting and the price was right. I would like to build up a bike for use on my fluid trainer for this coming winter since I don’t want to go to the YMCA for my usual off-season spin classes. The bike I build up will NEVER see the road - it will only be used in my basement on the trainer. One crack is along the top of the down tube and is about 3 inches long. The other crack is on the head tube and is about 2 inches long. I have no idea how those cracks came into existence. My question is would any of you consider using this frame on a trainer or would you look for something else? Opinions appreciated.
