I’ve got a fridge with 2 kegs in it already, so i figure I might as well turn it into a kegerator seeing as how the GF has pre-approved moving it into the house (shes a beer nerd too).
So, what do I need, what should I watch out for, etc? Any advice greatly appreciated!
The one thing I would recommend is using Perlick faucets. Seems the cheaper ones tend to stick. Well worth the extra couple bucks. I bought this, http://www.williamsbrewing.com/PERLICK-FORWARD-SEAL-FAUCET-WITH-SHANK-P1476.aspx. All I had to do was drill hole in door for the shank, then remove the picnic tap from the hose, and clap hose to nipple. Done and done. I also got another temp controller for my kegerator. http://titaniumbrewing.com/?p=207
I am really happy with the tower I bought from American Coffee Urn (ACU Metal Fab).
This was a few years ago so there may be a better option today.

Stand up fridge? Freezer on top or side by side?
I agree, though I’d get a setup with a 3/16" barb. You’ll need less beer line to balance the system that way. It seems that buying the taps as a unit like that is cheaper than buying the individual parts.
Ran into a guy at the local who used to brew and quit. Ended up selling me his for 200 bucks. Nice 2 tap setup. Thanks for the input regardless.
Even better
Heres the rig:
Very nice! Looks just like my Sanyo 4912. Coming close on getting rid of the cobra taps and doing as you’ve done.
Me, too. My problem is that I acquired two single tap towers, and I want a double tap tower.
I either need to sell/exchange or try to adapt.
Too many things to do, not enough time…
But the cobra taps work, so there is no harm in patience.

Amen to that. There’s a keg in it now with a cobra tap on it until I have the time to clean the kegerator lines and get it up and running :
