This was a fast and easy build. I purchased a $300 fridge from HD, a two tap system from Kegconnections, and a CO2 tank locally. It is outside on my patio.

Looks good. Do you have it vented near the compressor though? My new apartment is small, I'll probably have to do my next ferm chamber on the patio.

No, it is not vented near the compressor but it is about 4 inches from the wall and there is about 4 inches on one side and 10 inches on the other. I also have a couple of holes in the top. I guess I should drill some vent holes in the side wall near the bottom.
 
Looks good!

Not sure how hot it gets there, but the hotter it gets outside, it may have problems cooling, especially in 100+ degree weather!

We have a few days over 90 degrees in the summer but it should be fine. The two kegs take up a good bit of room so that should help.
