Still looking good. How are you going to finish the outside and make it into a piece of furniture?
This is really excellent!
Your wife sounds wwwwaaaaaaaayyyy cool. I prefer my own SWMBO, of course... but if she could do custom machining that'd be too sweet for words.

As for the mirror maybe it's time to call in the professionals. Take the mirror to a glass shop tell them what you need and let them cut it.
+1 on the mirror pros.
I've cut both glass and mirrors in my checkered past, and it really only takes a slight error - a change in the cutter pressure, a wiggle in the score, etc. - to trash what is sure to be a fairly expensive piece of mirror. Plus you can ginsu yourself right into the ER very easily with a pane that size. When those things let loose, they don't always just crumble top the floor. Sometimes they literally explode and blow glass shards all over the place.
I've cut that stuff before...and I'd take it to a glass shop. I wouldn't do it myself, personally.
I'm not sure if you mentioned this already because I didn't read the whole thread, so sorry if you have already discussed it.
The ac unit I use in my fermentation chamber (which actually looks identical to yours) has a thermostat probe in the front where the air is drawn in that turns the unit off when the temp in the chamber gets down to like 50 something degrees. That may not be cool enough for your application. You may have to move the probe to the outside to get your temps lower than that.
At this point the only thing I'd change is get an ebay temp controller instead of a Love to save some $$ but the $40 is pretty small change compared to the keg setup and stereo in this thing.
