Here's my idea and I'm currently building it. I'll show some pics when done
The Idea:
Build an efficient draft tower cooler using items from around the house for cheap or free.
The Parts:
The Design
I will take the lid of the CD spindle, cut a hole in it for air flow for the case fan. I will attach the case fan to the inside of the spindle lid using pop rivets. The fan will be positioned to blow toward the inside of the spindle lid. The base of the spindle will have a small diameter (1") hole drilled in it on one of the edges inside the diameter of the lid.
The base will be attached to the under side of the keezer lid with the 1" drilled hole postiioned over the opening for the draft tower so that air will be blown up the draft tower. The lid will simply slide onto the base and turn to latch it in place.
I will post pics once I get the build done. My draft tower doesn't arrive until wednesday so I will probably post final pics then.
Let me know your thoughts.
