Thanks! Still trying to decide what the middle tap handle should be!

Nothing elaborate, but it works great. I got the freezer from my wife's friend for free. She was hauling it in the back of her truck when the lid blew open. The lid would not seal afterward. A little bit of "body work" & the addition of the collar and all is good.
As you can see, I have 2 kegs on tap & I have an additional CO2 hose to have a 3rd keg "on the gas"
Nice. I love the bear head opener. eBay?
Where did you get the ice cold beer bear sticker?
Really cool looking keezer!
Well I have the indoor setup nicely with the Kegerator as shown in an earlier post, but I needed something for outdoors when the weather is good.
Dont want to be walking inside everytime we need a beer!
Picked up a couple of old Pallets, a plastic food grade 44 Gallon Drum, and a 4 tap tower, stuck it all together and gave it a coat of stain and outdoor varnish.
Total cost $50 (without the tower)
Holds 4 Corny kegs and the CO2 Bottle, couple of bags of ice and it stays cold for well over 8 Hours at 28 Degrees Celcius in the Sun. (and the hoses are not even insulated, perfect pours everytime.
Big enough for around 6-8 guys to comfortably stand around.
Will make some stools to sit on when I get some time.
..........Took way longer than it should have because i suck at carpentry
So there's more coming in this project. But taps went in. Pretty excited. Already poured a pint off of it.
Current issue is figuring out how to run an external CO2 line without puncturing a freon line. =/ turning out to be a bit difficult. hoping when i tip it over to access the compressor to try and add a relay I'll find a nice easy path into the central cabinet for the line. Probably just going to find another infernal steel plate though.
This thing has steel plates all over. Even ran into one in the door when drilling the taps. Just BARELY avoided it enough for the shanks to clear it. Close run thing.
With small taps. I think this looks better atm.
With a couple of classic brooklyn craft taps ( sixpoint and coney island )
I switched it up and went with pinlocks in this kegerator because of their short size. They fit better. That being said I prefer the ball locks I have more. I may attempt to drill one of the pin locks to add instrumentation. I've seen some pretty good docs on how to do that on a NASA provided document ( wierd ).
Anyways.. in a few more months when I get to the REALLY fun mods I'll post more pics. Or just stop by NYC Resistor and check it out yourself if you are in Brooklyn.
Cheers!
Here's a few pictures of my recent build.

Is that an STC-1000 measuring temp in Farenheit? Did you upgrade to the new firmware released recently?

It's an MH1210F. Same manufacturer as the STC-1000 but it is a single switch so only heating OR cooling but it is in Fahrenheit not Celsius. They are all over ebay for ~$15. Works like a charm!
