Yea i've done a bunch of google but i remember there were some people here who went step by step and i could possibly mooch some ideas off them. Like the fellow who built the box and put his chest freezer in it instead of building directly on the freezer. That guy is smart.
Here's some pics of mine. You can see the whole set at http://www.flickr.com/photos/mmbpics/sets/72157606313359194/
Here's one that shows the amount of room available. That's with 6 corney kegs as well as a 5G better bottle. I wanted room for 1/2BBLs and corneys along with lagering beer. Excuse the hydrometer, this is a pic from the kolsh swap.

check my gallery
I built a small walk-in cooler which houses all of my kegs, etc. and then I run six beer lines about 35 feet behind a wall through insulated pipes, under my bar and up into a coffin box on top of the bar. The insulated pipes and coffin box form an air-tight circuit to and from the cooler so I have a tiny computer fan on one of the pipes in the cooler that cirulates air through everything and keeps the lines cold

Good looking bar.
I apologize if I sounded like I was being short with you, that was not intended.
I just go to the sites and copy/paste the directions/pictures into a word doc for my library.

Some pictures of your space might help us offer ideas... You know, so we can know what you're working with.

This is from just after I finished the main bar area. The television and dart board have been installed as well as the wine rack in the back bar but you get the idea.
Take a look at Jester369's Keezer thread; that thing is beautiful. BrewPastor's is otherworldly as well.

Thanks that's great. Jester's is a very good design. I like the fan in the bottom to keep it cool.

I would put pictures of the space but that's in flux. In fact it will be in flux for the next 16 years because i'm active military. So it will have to be fairly portable for a bar.
