My kegerator

I have a lot of back logging to do, and I'll try to do it chronologically, but we all know how alcohol affects time, that and I have a steak on the grill. Let me set the stage.....Black Friday, 2005. Brandsmart has a Haier kegerator (stainless steel door of course) on sale. I pursuade Michele to brave the crowds with me at no less that 2 Brandsmarts. Can you believe they had a line to get in? After explaining what a kegerator is to the umpteenth employee, and convincing them that "yes, you actually sell these", we found it. Now, I imagine a bright light and a chorus of angels here, but to each their own. I picked it up at the loading dock, and was on my way home; but not before a stop at the local liquor store for a 1/6 barrel keg of Sierra Nevada. It wasn't long before I added a two tap tower and new CO2 regulator from Micromatic. I also replaced all the fittings with stainless steel and got two Perlick faucets from Northern Brewer. Oh yeah, I got a sweet stainless drip tray to boot.

I'll try to include some links and pictures along the way, so here we go.
