A few months ago I bought a kegerator on craigslist for $150, I think. It was your basic almond Frigidaire with 2 taps, a bunch of beer stickers and he had been using plastic parts bins as drip trays. it came with a stainless 10# CO2 bottle and new looking regulator, and line cleaning kit so I figured it was a great price., no regrets so far.
I decided I wanted to make it my own so I've been working on it the last few weeks. I have added a 4 valve co2 manifold, built a shelf on the bottom so it can hold 4 kegs (or 3 until I relocate the co2 bottle outside the fridge) and fit 2 - 12 packs under the shelf. I added 2 more taps, re-enforcing the back side with plywood. I was going to just add one but my OCD won't let me have a lopsided kegerator. lol. I replaced all of the beer and co2 lines because I got tired of chasing leaks. I painted it with chalkboard paint and added 2 - 14" drip trays. While drinking one night I bought a Inkbird ITC-1000 (STC that has F display) from a homebrew find. I don't need it so I'm just using it for a temp display now.
Right now I have Velvet Hammer on the #2 tap, Dr Pepper made from soda stream syrup on #3 and I have a kolsh in the fermenter that will go on one of the other 2.
Sorry for the sideways images, they weren't taken that way and I don't know how to rotate them on here.
