I am looking to get a compact refrig to convert to a kegerator. I found one on CL but its 3.6 cf. Is that big enough for a pin lock corny and 5 lb co2 tank? Thanks in advance.
Refrigerator big enough?

Almost every fridge you come across will be a little different. My rule of thumb is to size for a keg thats 9" wide by 28" tall. The trouble spot on bar fridges is the compressor hump on the lower rear of all the fridges.
Anything smaller then a fullsize bar fridge won't usually work.

As stated, you need the the interior dimensions of the fridge...
and likely it'll be too short due to compressor hump and/or the presence of the 'freezer shelf' which is where teh cooling coils are at...making it a pain to bend outta the way.

When I was looking it seemed that anything I found under 4.6cf was too small.

4.4 cf will work just fine for two cornies and a 5lb tank, danby has a bunch of models that are suitable. I'm going to be using the DAR446BSL.
