Looks like he is trying to make a living off building keezers. Good luck to him if he can, but I think his target audience would mostly build one themselves before shelling out $2k for one.
In their defense there are plenty of people who I'm sure would like to build their own but aren't confident that it would look too nice, or don't have the time to take on the project but have the financial means to purchase one. Sometimes you have to weigh out how much money you can save by doing it yourself against the time it would take you and what you'd have to give up or not do in order to make time for that project.
Granted 2k sounds a bit high, but I'm sure at some point he'll find a buyer and still make some money on the deal. Just my thoughts.
The lighted display can be had for really cheap. I got mine from IKEA for maybe $30 and it can change to different colors, flash, glow, etc.except for the lighted display.
Let's run down the price list:
7.2cf Freezer: $270@ Lowes
Johnson digital controller: $85
3 perlick faucets: $120
3 shanks & misc parts: $70

New person: "this is a really nice poker table. Where did you get it?
Me: "i made it."
np: "this is good beer. Where'd you get it?"
me: "i made it."
np: "it's cool that it's on tap. Where'd you get the keggerator?"
me: "i made it."

so, that's about $1000 in parts which means he's charging about $1000 for labor. Let's say it took him 5 hours to get all the parts together and build the thing. That's $200/hour.
