My newst completed DIY project. (caution beer porn ahead)

Mostly done, fitting the kegs.

Fridge from Best Buy, Tower/Lines from KegConnection.com, Kegs from Greenblood (not sure what he real name is he wan't at the last meeting)
If anyone's in the market to build their own I'd be happy to help.

Excellent work! I built mine about 8yrs ago and is still going strong. These are tuff little fridges.
I like the rails you added. I need to come by and test it and make sure it was done properly. It may take more than just a few pints for the test tho :alien:

The rails are 15" handles/cabnet pulls I got from Amazon. If you look closely you'll see the 1/2" spacer I added to have them stand a little higher. I would have liked to have them bit higher but the longest #8 machine screw I could find was 1". The best part of this build is I didn't have to bend down the cooling element/freezer tray inside. This model fridge has the coils run permitter.

That looks good. I look forward to testing it.
