Well done, d-668!
So sorry to ask the dumb obvious question but are those chest freezers that have been converted? Is there a plan/kit that most people follow? Sorry for asking the newbie questions.

At the risk of posting prematurely, here's mine.
I picked up the Holiday 7cuft from Lowes for $180. I can fit four ball locks snugly onto the floor and a fifth on the hump with collar.
Looks like the start of something good. Post pics as you go along.
The chest freezers make great "keezers" with the addition of a external thermostat to get the temps where you want them.
Some go with homemade collars, mostly wooden, to add space so that a keg can sit on the hump if there is one, and they also serve as a place to attach faucets, regulators, etc. Don't drill into the body of a chest freezer, you will almost surely hit a line and brick the freezer.
Some do towers or coffins, which are nice but they need more clearance to open the lid, the upside is the more traditional appearance and height of the faucets (keeps my dog out)
Holy crap... Ten taps? That thing is HUGE!
It reminds me of the sad story of the Monstrator....
here's my setup:
Sad Sad when I read this...
...so I built something last night to hold me over:
Couple of 575SS faucets, Johnson A419 controller. The left tap has a US or EURO adapter, the right is a homebrew QD.
Here's my first keezer......been testing it out in the garage......
ignore the mess behind it....I'm cleaning up today.....
Sweet little hold-over. Is this in the new place?
Would love more info on that. Looks very cool.
Actually, It's my parent's house.
Speaking of Tripods...
I didn't have one with me when I took this series of pictures, but it still made me happy. The beer tastes phenominal as well.
I got hosed and woke up with a bear head as my snuggle bunny one morning... apparently I stole it from a bar we were at... He now guards the kegerator from heavy handed "friends"
Not my proudest moment, but up there none the less...
Wappingers the one in the Imperial plaza, I think they call it the Pougkeepsie HD but they have one next to Marist too.
Ya I didn't know they had them until this one was in the clearance area. With no price on it the manager shot me the price and I snapped it up. I think they are 400+
Sheeesh, forget the background stuff, but looks like there is some spilled brew on the floor! Au Tragic!
Nice work HBRunner! What does the inside of your tower box look like?
