Just bought a kegging system because i'm over botelling, now i need to keep the beer cold, but i am not handy, i barely have any tools, so i am looking to put 4 ball lock kegs in a fridge without having to build a collar, i'm just going to use the picnic tops

I don't have a car so i'd prefer something that i can buy on ebay or amazon...

Anybody has this type of set up? i'm trying to keep it simple, any information will help a lot, thanks in advance!
 
If you're going to go this route it really won't be hard but it's going to be a little "redneck engineered"

I just bought a chest freezer to turn into a keezer and the big thing is temperature. You're going to open and close that lid a lot so keeping it cold is going to be finicky while you serve but the harder part is keeping it from freezing. You need to get a temperature controller for the unit to keep it above freezing temps
 
7.1 cu.ft. chest freezer I just bought fits 3 ball lock kegs plus a 4th one if it's a 3 gallon keg.
 
The trick is to get one that'll fit kegs without a collar. Mine does but I understand some don't. I got an Insignia from Best Buy. About 7cf, fits 3 kegs and a CO2 bottle.
 
I don't know your budget, but I'd suggest taking a look at the 10.6CF chest freezer at Lowes. It looks to me like it's what You're looking for.
