By request of Ducks4Brkfst.
I built my kegerator out of an old, rusted, moldy GE upright that I got off of craigslist. My cost: hauling it away. I took a couple of hours and scrubbed/bleached the crap out of it until it was clean and sterile. I then gave it two coats of rustoleum. Total cost: $8

I got my parts from kegconnection.com, specifically this one: [url]http://stores.kegconnection.com/Detail.bok?no=47[/url] It's a two tap, 5lb CO2 system. Comes with a drip tray, two faucets and all the necessary tubing, connections.
I just drilled two 7/8" holes in the door with a hole saw, and everything just bolted right on.

I have plenty of room for more kegs, or bottles/commercial brews/sanke keg, but right now I've got the left side cleared out so I can put in a fermenter for temperature controlled fermentations (via a Johnson controller). Obviously fermentations are not at optimal beer serving temps, so if I have a fermentation going I'll just pull off a 1/2 gallon growler and put it in my fridge upstairs.

I put a magnetic dry erase board on there just for grits and shiggles. It adds a nice touch, I think. As you can see, tap #2 is still empty, but I'm remedying that soon.
Close up of the tap handles/faucets and drip tray installed.

Total investment is just shy of $300.
