I am building a new, small keezer to hold two kegs. What I want to do is place the CO2 regulator as well as STC-1000 build in the keezer in-order to make for a cleaner outside appearance. Has anyone placed all the electronics inside the keezer. I am wondering if the moisture / humidity would cause a problem. Thanks in advance.
STC-1000 Placed Inside the Keezer

Humidity would be the main concern anytime you are dealing with electronics. Unless you are running a dehumidifier inside the keezer I wouldnt recommend it.
Any chance you can build it into the tap tower in a classy looking way?
It would be easy enough to chase the terminal block down to a more accessible place, plus dont you want to know what temp your kegs are at without opening the keezer up?

I did that to mine (see YAKB post) and have had no problems. I'm not that good of a carpenter so I knew that trying to install the controller on the front would be a disaster. I just took some silicone sealant and mounted the controller on the top-inside of the collar (for easy access). Has worked fine.
If you look through the various keezer/kegerator build threads, lots of folks have done this without problems.
I've had an MH-1210 (single-stage controller in the same form-factor as the STC-1K) mounted in the lid of my keezer since I built it a few years ago and it's never exhibited any issues....
Cheers!
