Dual-Tap Kegerator - suggestions?

You can piece together your own brand new 2 tap kegerator without having to convert a fridge and save about $100, and get better faucets! Consider the edgestar br2000 (~$300, with shipping). I then purchased a dual tower with perlick faucets off ebay for $180.

Can't find a dual tap kegerator for $480, including shipping. At least I couldn't a week or two ago! You will have to drill 4 holes in the top for the tower, but that's it. I've had mine running all day and it's stayed steady at 37F.

Hope this helps!

After about 5 batches, and several hundered bottles of brew taking over my basement - - I've conned my wife into believing that we "need" a dual-tap kegerator for our dining room.

She said "as long as you don't try to make it yourself" (very smart!) - - we can spend the money on a decent one. I'm looking in the $500-$650 range;

Any suggestions? Or models to stay away from?

I've seen some good comments about the Kegco K199B-2; this is basically the style I'm looking for. and I'm in no real rush here - - thinking about buying mid summer 2013; so i've got plenty of time to research, and look for deals.

thanks all!

Long shot that you'll see this...

I have a line on one of these used for $200. It looks like a good idea, and I'll likely get it, but I can't find anything about it's power consumption. Considering I'm on Long Island and we pay ridiculous energy rates, I need to be aware of these things when I make purchases!

This is a genuine compressor run fridge, right? Not a cooler that is always-on? Did you notice any appreciable jump in electricity when you started using it?

I have a coworker that bought a wine cooler from Home Depot and his bill jumped $80, since it was a Thermoelectric Cooler, not a refrigerator.

Any info would be appreciated!
