Haier 7.1 Coffin Lid Keezer

[Strong_Brews]

Last week I picked up a Haier 7.1 chest freezer. Any tips you guys can give me would be appreciated.
I have been building my keezer after work for about a week now... I'm sure the other people in my apt building love me!
I'm wondering how big I should make the coffin box. I don't want to make it too small and not have enough room for all the taps (3 or 4). I also don't want to make it too big and create issues cooling the coffin box.
The dimensions of my lid are 23inx43in.
I am planning on using 150 yr old barn board as an outer skin.

I've been working on this for a while now and I have made a lot of progress. It's turning out pretty amazing especially with no instructions, and all I have is a drill. It's almost done just need to cover it with the tile and barn board.

Been a min since I started this. It turned out really well. I’ve made some adjustments over the years. Moved all the gas outside of the kegerator added a second line to close pressure transfer. Over all it turned out well. Just wish I had a better way to keep the lid open when swapping kegs.
