Also, what's up with "2.1 surround sound + subwoofer"?  Is 2.1 really 'surround'?  Doesn't the 1 in 2.1 already imply that there's a subwoofer?  I'm assuming there aren't two subs.

Here's my new addition...similar thought, but different implementation.

That thing is awesome - where did you get it and how much did it cost (if you don't mind me asking)?  I'm making all sorts of mental notes for things I want to put in my finished basement and something like this is definitely on the list along with a regular refrigerator - I definitely don't need a kegerator and tap since I'm not a huge drinker but I want to have all sorts of beer available - and cold!

Along those lines......

 ;D Last week's project:

1/2 bbl ---> three 1/6 bbl conversion.
Made the tap handles & inserts myself using acrylic picture frames (and of course....wood).  
Also made a tower cooler while I was at it.


HanoiBoi - Awesome cooler (and awesome selection)!  Looks like it was made to go in that spot.

It wasn't the easiest to find.  Most people I spoke to started the conversation with 'we don't sell residential'.  One company came through for me though.  Feel free to PM me for details.  The unit I got is a little smaller than some because I was limited to the space I wanted it to fit (28"w x 24"d restrictions). The unit itself was about 1K.  Add tax, casters, delivery, etc. and it was a couple hundred more.  Oh...then you've got to fill it.   :cheers:

Nice work on the kegerator.  Mine has a built in shelf for the tank inside, so I could only go with a double tap as it's not worth it to mod.

Your tap markers look great.  I really need to get/do something like that.  Are your labels print outs?  Can you change the labels on each?

Thanks!  The space was certainly measured, measured and measured again.  I had to slide a Pachinko machine out of there, but this is definitely an upgrade.  You might be able to tell that I like me some IPA's.  If you've got any favorites that you'd like suggest, I'm all ears.  I only recently discovered that Racer 5... and it's delicious.

Oops, double post.

Oops, double post.

And I haven't even been in the cooler!

Mine has the tank inside also, in the back left corner.  It's not really made to hold 3 sixtels, but if something might work, it really motivates me to try it.
The front two kegs are up on a 2x4 to get them to clear the lip at the bottom of the door, otherwise the door wouldn't close (but I knew this before I started since I very professionally worked it all out using paper plates  :-\ ).  The door closes solid though and the kegs probably have around 3/4" clearance inside the recess of the front door.

The labels on the tap handles are changeable.  I spent Friday at work making labels using web images and ms paint  :angel: ,
then printed them out on photo paper when I got home.
The picture frames are 2.25 x 3.25 fridge magnets from Michael's craft store ($2 each).  Since they are standard wallet size, the stupid "windows photo printing helper" demon thing actually helps more than it hurts in this case.  It allows printing of 9 different labels at once.  To change a label, I just grab the sides of the front edge of the frame and bend it forward until I can reach in and swap labels.  The back of the frame is glued into a recess routed into the tap handle.


(the router splintered the edge of the right one in a couple places)
