Kegerator build from scratch

So I have my craiglist mini-fridge. Its taken apart and I'm about to go to Home Depot for a sheet of plywood and a sheet of foam.
My plan is to build a chest (lid on top) and add the refrigeration unit off of my newly dissasembled mini-fridge. It will hold two pin lock kegs and the CO2 tank inside. The inside dimensions are 10x15.5x26 inches and the outside will be roughly 24x24x32. I will eventually get taps but it will start off with a party tap. It will live in my basement so it won't be much to look at, but that is fixable.
I was amazed at how easy it was to take apart. There is no compressor on this one so that made a difference.

Supply list... 4x8x3/4 plywood, (4) 1x2x8 foam sheets, (1) 1x4x8 board, silver tape, sash lock (window lock), hinge, 1 tube cauk, 1 roll 1/8 inch foam strip.
Grand total... 25 dollars for the fridge, 85 dollars for the supplies for 110 dollars (with no taps, yet).
Here's hopping it works...

good luck :fro:

How are you going to deal with moisture inside?

I like this idea, I have been thinking about the same thing.

I had a large amount of progress. It helps to have the week off of work. The box is done and the foam is loosly inside. The hole for the cooling element is in. I basically need a can of spray foam to finish it. The space is probably bigger than I need, but I plan on filling extra space with foam peanuts. I have some metal work to do (aluminum flashing to cover the lips of the opening and underside of the lid).
I just now figured out what to do with condensation. I'll use the aluminum flashing to create a drip tray which is what the original fridge did (but with molded foam and plastic).
I'll post more pics at some point in time.

And its done (after I put better seals on the opening and attach some kind of tap). I'm quite happy concidering I'm not a carpenter. I started the day deciding to make the inside smaller by an inch on the sides and the front. Then it was cutting and bending aluminum sheeting for the opening. I attached all the electronics, added some legs from a foot stool that is being thrown away, and attached the door. My poor carpentry skills made the door not set flush with the lid. The cooling system is probably underpowered but the kegorator is going to live in the basement so the ambient temp is always going to be lower. I might have to add some ice bags when I put a new keg in it too. Ironically now that its built, its going to remain unplugged until the temps start to get warmer.
Now I just need to buy a second keg and figure out how to attach the taps. Considering how expensive taps are, party taps will be the choice for a while. I'm still undecided if it will make a tower or just put taps on the side and have them set a little low.
BTW... I chose to make a chest (door on top) because its supposed to be more effecient and it does allow great access to everything inside.

The peice of metal hanging down from the cooler is my attempt at controlling condensation. Its definately not pretty but it will perform just fine I predict.

OK... Last post. I added a better closure, better seals and a mini-tower (then repositioned said mini-tower due to lines hitting the wall of the chest). All thats left is to add taps to the mini-tower and a drip tray on the front of the unit, for another day. My party tap works just fine for the moment. I'd like a second keg too.
The cooling unit is probably underpowered and will probably require some ice when I add new kegs/brew, but hopefully its effecient enough to keep things cool once the temp is cool enough. The plus side is that the cooling unit was insanely easy to remove from its donor.
Hopefully this can inspire someone.
