Let me first say, this project is totally ridiculous but I don't think it's been done and the wife and I wanted a project to have fun with...aside from the obvious.
First a little back story:
About a month ago, a co-worker of my wife decided to get rid of a 55" rear projection TV (dimensions were 50"H x 50"W x 50"D). Due to the difficulties in getting rid of a TV like this, my wife called me and asked if we wanted to do him a favor and turn it into a kegerator. The initial thought was to remove the electronics of the TV, insulate nearly the whole interior and replace it with a flat screen TV. To do this, we would have had to reduce the size of our current TV, so that wasn't going to happen. We have a few ideas on what to do with the interior now though, so I won't spoil the end (unless we find another idea that was really unique but won't work).
Here was the initial TV.
FrontViewWhole
In about 20 minutes, it was broken down to this.
FrontViewColorGuns
And after 2 hours, with the wife's help, it was down to this.
RearViewDisassembled
We decided to mock-up some kegs to make we could fit what we wanted inside and we had a third helper.
