    Well, new to me.
    I was looking to convert, and found a unit for $200, with everything but the keg and fittings for a pin lock corny, including a full 20# CO2 tank.

    Nice! Are you able to fit more than a few cornys in there?

    It looks like if I keep the tank outside (the half barrel next to it was in there, there's already a hole in the side for it), I can likely fit four cornys in there if I want to. I plan on two for now, I do that cheap, I get pin lock kegs locally for $25 a pop.

    Got a couple cornys, a new regulator (this one is single gauge, no tank gauge), some hoses, a second faucet, a distributor, a drip tray (holy crap, I'm in the wrong business, I gotta start making those things, I'd make a killing), and some other odds and ends. This thing is going to be pretty nice once I'm done. As long as my stuff arrives timely, I should have a good project for the weekend.

    Progress!

    Everything works, spent the afternoon getting everything cleaned, sanitized and tested.
    Beer goes in this weekend. I'm still waiting on a drip tray and a few other odds and ends.

    Question: What did you use to mount the co2 splitter on the back wall of the fridge?

    Just shallow sheet metal screws. Seemed to work well.

    Done! At least, done enough for me.
    At some point, I may add a third faucet, I left enough space for it.
