I have plenty of 80-160gb drive laying around. maybe I will give that a try. thanks for the suggestion.
Just carted home my black Frigidaire 7.2 cu. ft. freezer today from Lowes. (Had to have them order it for me; they don't stock the black ones.)
Item #: 279057 Model: FFC0723GB
Definitely a good deal for $228, and I found a 10% off coupon, so even better.
It'll hold 3 Corny kegs plus a 10 pound CO2 cylinder without a collar, 5 plus a 10 pound CO2 cylinder with a 2x8 collar.
I think I'm going to build the collar and use it for 4 kegs, and keep a little spare room for misc. stuff.
A) make a collar and drill through that
B) make a hole in the lid, don't ever drill through the freezer
does anyone know if the 5.0 holiday with the 1/4 hump will fit 3 pin locks?

With a collar, right?
i didn't measure, but at a glance it looked like 0% probability of a 3rd.
(Note the changed hump)
delivery has came! i'm at work right now, so i can't check it out.
Delivery dude said to let it sit 24 hours at "4" and set from there.
so day after tomorrow i'm going to try the "get to fridge temps without a controller" trick.
Here's more proof that you can fit 3 Corny's and C02 tank in the newly designed Holiday 5.0 from Lowes....if you add a collar.....1 on the hump and 2 in the freezer.
Both the GE and Maytag 14.8 cu. ft. freezers are on sale at Home Depot for $404. Which one is better?
I had about a 10-20º difference in temperature from bottom to top so I installed a 3" AC fan to circulate the cold air. It works perfect and I only have about a 3-4º difference now which I'm happy with.
Back, hinge.

Here is the sizing, the cardboard was cut for 1/6 barrels at 9 1/4"

I'll post more as I make progress.
Cheers!
Interesting idea with the fan. Any thoughts to trying to insulate the collar?
I've got 3 of the Eva-dry brand rechargeable dehumidifiers they work great. I keep one in my keezer and two in my lager/yeast/hops fridge, which gets opened more often than I'd like.
Very cool! I have my keezer all picked out. Going with the 14.8 cf for $395.10 - 5%. Very excited! Belgian ale on tap! 2 stouts on tap! Strawberry kiwi ale on tap! Maybe a vanilla java porter! Woot!!
