I've started work on my Keezer and it's got a lot of work to go, but I figured I'd start up a thread to show off my progress.
I'll try to keep a running parts list so if anyone wants to emulate or build parts of it, you'll know what I used. Prices include shipping.

I have the exact measurements for the freezer, will update them when I find them again.
My general plan of attack is to build a platform with casters (for rolly awesomeness) or get casters that will screw into the feet pegs, build a collar (high enough to accommodate another corny) for it, stick the taps and the thermostat through the collar. Pretty sure I don't want to do a tower at this point.
As always, suggestions and comments are welcomed.
