https://www.homedepot.com/p/Magic-Chef-9-0-cu-ft-Chest-Freezer-in-White-HMCF9W2/302245064
I bought this freezer from home depot for $168 without really knowing what I was doing re keezer, it was large, had wheels, and was cheap so I bought it.
I did the layout with ball locks, a 20# co2 tank, and a 13" diameter fermenter to make sure it would be suitable.
Ended up at 9.5 inches for the collar, partly because I had wood that made that work. Insulated 0.5" XPS and covered with 3/16 underlayment. Probably will weatherstrip along the top.
The most interesting thing was that after taking off the grate, a black cover on the back of the control, and popping out the control board (W19-56AB) is that it has a tab (C) that makes it function as a refrigerator when in place. It comes broken off so i scraped the end and put solder on this to reestablish this circuit. I did this about an hour ago and set my temperature control to min and it's up to 46 degrees without tripping the compressor so it appears to be effective.
Anyway, not sure how it'll all pan out but this seemed to be a new model with no data out there so I wanted to share.
Thanks,
