Price: $175.00
Pros: Great tiny little unit (though the gf says it may still be a little big). Keeps temp well, runs quiet, easy to operate and easy to convert to a kegerator
Cons: Need to get a temp regulator as even the lowest setting is in the deep freeze range. Thought I could fit 3-4 5 gal corny kegs, but without some slight modifications (banging a bit more space into the side walls) it looks like it only holds 2, with possibly room for a 2.5 gal as well.
Recommended? Yes

Comments: Haier 5 cu ft chest freezer:
-Works great!
-Easy to convert to kegerator
-Quiet running
-Efficient
-Wont quite hold as many 5 gal corny's as I was hoping, holds 2 easy, may hold 3 with mods
-Needs a temp controller as even the lowest setting is deep freeze

Price: $0.01
Pros: Free! Left in the house by the previous owner. Space in the main fridge for 3 cornies and a 10# tank, 4 cornies if I modify it so the tank is outside. Freezer used for food, hops and yeast.
Cons: Due to compressor hump, had to create a wooden stand.
Recommended? Yes

Comments: This is a standard freezer on top fridge. Shelving has been removed to allow the kegs and tank to fit in the main compartment.

Pros: Holds three corny kegs, price was right.
Cons: Barely holds three kegs, closing the door is a bit of a challenge.
Recommended? Yes

Comments: I inherited a DIY single-tap upright ghettorator with Sanke connections and a mold infestation. Took care of those problems and added two taps. I store my hop bank in the freezer.

Pros: professional glastender barback cooler w/ homemade draft tower ALWAYS works w? lots of room
Cons: take up some serious space
Recommended? Yes

Comments: i bought a used glastender barback keg cooler off of craigslist. i had a guy weld up a draft tower (because buying one was too much $). i can get 4 corny kegs + 20lb CO2 tank in just 1/2 of the cooler. it was worth the effort to build

Pros: you can always find a cheap or free fridge.
Cons: sometimes they like to break down if you get an older fridge
Recommended? Yes

Comments: even if a fridge quits working, you can find another for cheap any day of the week, and it gives you another excuse to work in the garage!

Price: $300.00
Recommended? Yes

Comments: I used a 7 cu ft Frigidaire chest freezer as a base, raised the lid ~7 inches with 2x8's so 5 corny kegs and their tubing and fittings will fit inside (2 on the hump), and drilled four holes in the front wood for Perlick faucets. I used a temperature regulator to keep temps between 40 and 45 degrees. All inspired by descriptions and photos from this forum

Comments: I followed the DIY forum topic here for the Frigidaire Model FRC445GB Mini-Fridge Kegerator Conversion.

When you drill your holes, make sure the tap assembly will clear the 5 gallon kegs (I think they are 26 inches high).
