Posted a pic of mine back in June, but it wasn't done so here is a tour of the final product. It is a 15.5 cf whirlpool. Holds 7 kegs and a 20 lb bottle and has 6 taps. Taps are, left to right, seltzer for sodas, 525 beer, 575 beer, 525 beer, 575 beer, rum&coke. Beer taps are all on 1 regulator at 12 psi. Seltzer and Rum&Coke taps are on a second regulator ay 35 psi.

And the lid is hinged in the middle for easy access.

I can finally post pics of mine! I call it the Gator-ator! I just finished it and as you can guess Jester was the inspiration :)

Here it is completed with my first pint:

lol the Gator-ator is freakin sweet.

Thanks! I am glad its finished and now I can enjoy it! It took a lot of work to finish it up, luckily I have a patient wife who was a big help :)

chiliorovo, you have a build link? or more pics of your build? i'd love to see them.
Thanks :) I am working on a build thread! First I am going to upgrade my membership so I can post the photos directly to HBT... Are there any specific areas you are most interested in?
 
I'd like to see how you attached everything to the lid. That was a complicated part off my build. Also, what kind of wood did you use? Is that a cherry stain? I like the contrast of the black frezeer with the red wood. IF i ever redo mine, i think i will leave the beare part of the keezer exposed and just trim it with wood, similar to what you did.

Props on the Gator-ator... Well done! Though it would have been better done up in purple and gold with Mike the Fighting Tiger on it.
 
I finished my kegerator! Just in time too. I returned from a deployment a couple of weeks ago and immediately started brewing batches of beer. I made several recipes that I found on this site. BM's Centennial Blonde, Edwort's Haus Pale Ale, Edwort's Hefeweizen and Edwort's Apfelwein. The Blonde and the Pale Ale were ready to keg today as I finished up the kegerator. I bought the 4 tap system from Keg Cowboy and upgraded the taps to Perlick 425's. They're pretty sweet. I found the fridge on Craigslist for $25. It works great. It was just ugly as hell when I got it. It was a beige color and had old, wood style handles on it. I painted it with chalkboard paint and removed the old handles. I found the pictured handles at Lowe's for about $4 each. I removed the shelves on the inside of the main door and replaced it with a piece of corrugated plastic. I beefed up the area where I drilled the tap holes with a piece of 2x4. It fit perfectly. So, I currently have 10 gallons of beer carbonating in the kegs right now. These are also my first all grain beers. I'll probably get a bigger fridge eventually. I'll be moving down to the lower 48 next year. I'm not decided on whether or not I'll take this fridge or not. We'll see how it works out.

Whoa, how did you get that finish on the wood for your collar? I like it a lot... looks like our TV cabinet. Is that stain or paint? Looks excellent, really nice job!

its Ebony Stain or similar, lightly brushed on one or maybe two coats. no varnish applied.

I got a couple of IKEA tables they were unfinished and did the same thing. I added some darker spots here and there though.

you want to start out with a really light wood though.
