This is a VinoTemp wine fridge. I have several of these available, a friend of mine runs a warehouse and these are shipping returns, meaning they might have slight scratches or dents but are fully functional. They will fit 2 5G cornies with room on the compressor hump for CO2 and bottles. These are commercial grade units with serviceable refrigeration, not throw-away dorm fridges. They sell for $500-$800 new, he's asking $150. The evaporator is a flat plate along the back so there is no issue with cutting a hole in the top for a tower.

Seriously, I'm trying to justify needing something I don't need.

That could be a nice lagering fridge... I've been avoiding my first lager b/c I don't want to tie up my fermentation fridge for 1-2 months...

Will a Sankey keg fit in there? I could use one as a fermentation chamber.
I saw a werewolf drinking a pina colada down at Trader Vic's

No such luck. Compressor hump gets in the way.

He has a few right now, but they're not shipping for them anymore, so when they're gone they're gone.

Just so everyone can estimate how nice a fridge this is in terms of size

Thought I would ask my wife just in case she said yes, here's what she wrote
Bonnie Bennett to me
We have one plus a second refrigerator in the garage and two freezers -- no

You know I've found it easier to ask for FORGIVENESS than PERMISSION...
Tell her you are saving over $600
Just Kidding Scott. Keep Bonnie happy and she'll let you keep brewing.
