Got a cheap fridge through craigs list, tanks to everyones advice. I paid 50 bucks for a Top freezer bottom fridge type. Here is my question: I am planning on going to a kegging set up and i woul lkie to know wht parts i would need to convert the fridge to a double tap kegerator. Also any advice on what to watch for and what not to do.
 
Need to measure where you are going to drill the holes and purchase shanks long enough to stick through. Then you will need a couple of faucets, beer hosing, hose clamps, Y connector (for the CO2 line to each keg) and connectors for the keg. What type of keg are you going to use. Most people prefer the Ball Lock Corneys. I just purchased two off of ebay for $40 with shipping from a guy from Rexbug, ID. They are used but always in excellent condition. I would recommend that you used 1/4" beer line for the CO2 supply to the keg and 3/16" beer line from the keg to the tap. From there all you need to do is place where you want your taps, drill the holes and then connect everything. Might also want to purchase a drip tray. These kegerators can be pretty messy at times. I have some pics of my kegerator in my gallery. Also check out Landsailors post about his kegerator. His is truley great.
