That's what a chest freezer in the garage is for.

Why do you do this to me?

I JUST got paid, and I was in the process of stashing half my check in my ultra-secure shoebox.

*sigh*

yeah, that is the link, but I do not remember the brand/model for the fridge. It is a custom job, and to get a 1/2bbl keg in there you had to hold your lips just right. I will say it is MUCH easier to fit 3 cornnies in there. However, I will make the disclaimer to try and fit three kegs in BEFORE you put three taps on the tower

While the price isn't bad, I think it should be noted that it isn't a commercial kegerator. A commerical kegerator such as a Bev Air or True will run quite a bit more than 400 bucks. Without seeing it, I'd suspect it's quality is on par with Danby, Haier, etc. Not that I'm knocking those lower end units, I have a Danby myself.

Since the Costco kegerator I posted is dead I was looking at this one:

Haier Kegerator HBF05EBSS-2 Keg Beer Cooler | BeverageFactory.com

Haier, 6.5 cubic feet, 2 tap system with a new 5# aluminum tank but I think I should buy all the parts separately? Maybe only upgrade to SS tower for $40 and better dual regulator.
