I just bought a house with a very nice wine/beverage fridge (Marvel). It has four levels for can sodas, two for wine, and since I already have a good wine cooler (all wine) and never really drink sodas, I think I'll convert this to a very nice kegerator. It has a glass door, and I've already confirmed it has no freon in the top. Marvel makes beer dispensors from what appears to be the same general design. The inside is a little different but once I remove the racks, I'm pretty sure I can get 2+ Corny's in there. I'll measure to be sure, of course.
I think this is the win/beverage cooler:

Here's my plan (with some basic questions, as my handy-man level is pretty basic):
* Drill 3" hole in center (Is this the right size, or should I do a little smaller? any particular bit to buy?)
* Install 2 tap tower with base from ACU: http://www.acumetalfab.com/products2.html (Any issues with drilling screws into metal top of beverage cooler? I think these are insulated already?)
* 2 taps (Perlick?)
* 2 beer shanks (Do I need elbow shanks?)
* Dual body regulator
* 4 Kegs from kegconnection (ball?)
* Beer and gas tubing, QDs
* Tower cooling fan needed? battery powered?
* 5 lb CO2 tank
Thanks for any feedback.
