How much did it cost you to make that?

It's been 6 or seven years, but I'd estimate:
Chest Freezer: $150 (scratch and dent from Lowes)
SS Faucets and shanks: ~$50/each
Regulator: ~$120
5# CO2 tank: ~$70
Drip tray: ~$30 (I used break metal from our shop to make the tray holder)
Wood: ~$10 collar
Temperature controller: ~$75
Random tubes and misc. shite: ~$25
My advice to anyone wanting to build one, and I say this frequently on the FDB, but don't go cheap on the faucets and shanks. Don't get chrome plated non-perlicks. You will end up replacing them several years down the road. I know because that's what I did.

Order Old Rasputin. If you order Guinness make sure you order a pink dress to wear when you drink it.

it is a little too sweet

Thats not bad at all.
Im between building one with multiple taps and keeping it in the garage. Or purchasing a nice stainless steel one and keeping it next to the bar inside. Fiance will only allow one in the house that matches the appliance.

Trying to decide on a strong Stout..
I like a good strong stout, but it's not something I try and keep on tap. You have to realize that a 1/6 keg is around 50 beers. Strong, full-bodied beers are good for a bit, but then they get to be a chore.

How long can a keg of beer stay good in one of these?

My dad has one of those Best Buy Nostalgia brand kegerators that he offered to give me. Apparently, he think that even with a quarter keg he doesn't drink it fast enough and it eventually goes flat. Problem is, I wouldn't drink it more often than him. Is there some merit to it going flat or does it just need to be tinkered with? I'd love to get it and put a keg of something good in it once my bar is finished.

Hell I can imagine. I can float through a Saturday of tailgating and eat a single hot dog, but on a Tuesday I'd die of starvation. I think there is some real thought to that, instead of eating supper just have 5-6 big glasses of a oatmeal stout and boom, no supper needed.
