I bought a new house and I want to run my beer lines through a wall so I can have taps in my living room, but no freezer. :)
I am a little concerned that my beer will get warm. and Foamy. I already have enough foam issues.
The run is going to go up out of the fridge make a right "L" run about 24 inches and make a left L into the wall run about 2 inches and exit to the faucets.

I was thinking about using 2 inch PVC pipe for this, and using one of those beer line cooler fans.

Would this work?

Did you see the thread on the PVC system someone made? It was basically a loop of PVC from the kegerator, to the faucets, back to the kegerator. On the "supply" side, the beer lines fed to the faucets. On the 'return' side, there was a small computer fan, forcing air back into the kegerator (hence, sucking it in the PVC with the beer lines in it).

It was pretty pissah.
 
I have seen references to it, but no pictures or diagrams. I think it was posted by Cape Brewing.
 
Perhaps run a glycol cooling line alongside the beer lines. A reservoir and a tiny pump (like the ones used in table-top fountains) wuld flow glycol-water up out of the freezer, alongside the lines in a PVC pipe and then back again from the end.
