Some of them are. There not all tiny little cubes.

You could even go to a Sears wharehouse or scratch and dent place and find one cheap.

That thing looks great! Recently my neighbor who also works for AB hooked me up with a fridge and all the essentials. The only thing I had to pay was $15 dollars to refill the 15# CO2 tank and $70 dollars for a keg(Currently Amberboch and the first was killians) Out of curiosity what is cost for a keg? There is nothing better than being able to grab a cold draft anytime you want one. A quick question where did you get the drip tray and what type of paint did you use?

Bar supply places will sell you drip trays.. you can get a stainless steel one for $30 or so. (EXAMPLE)

But... it seems you could rig something up yourself pretty easily possibly with some plumbing or vinyl gutter supplies.

I got the drip tray from kegworks.com. http://www.kegworks.com/shoppingcart...cat=548&page=1
I just used some red paint from Home Depot that was applicable to metal surfaces. It was oil based, so it was a mess.

It would look alot better if it wasn't that ugly Crimson color with that ugly logo.

War Eagle!

Very cool! When can I come over for a nice cold one and a game of darts? Cricket, of course!

I don't know about that my father has an old westinghouse (I'm going to have to look it up but he got it when I was 12 which was 25 years ago and it runs like a champ) which is much cheaper to run than most of the modern ones because the doors/sides are much thicker (3" plus and coils are located in the back so the housing isn't a heatsink like my deep freeze), uses the much better but more hazardous freon (which is legal to use anymore but seemed to be better conductor of heat), non-auto defroster, and heavy (I had to use a dolly on this one maybe 300+ lbs and only use a dolly when handling maytag products which are also well built). Of course he doesn't have his set with a tap so the door is opened daily but he's actually checked his past billing plugging it in and out for a few months and it's cheaper than any fridge he's had in the last 25 years (it's his favorite fridge though it's starting to rust). Just eyeballing it stands 60" h * 22" w * 24" d by my guesstimate. Making it have a tap should increase it's efficiency by a decent amount as well but I think some of those appliances of the past are a lot better than some today though I assume some of the modern ones might be more efficient when the electric motor operates than most of the past I think some of the past ones are better insulated and can be improved if the insulation materials are updated.
