Somehow I butchered the subject line..oh well.....anyways....I just bought myself an early Christmas present...a kegerator!
I would love to have a small cabinet (about 6 inches deep internally by about 24 inches wide, by about 24 inches high) that is refrigerated with dual glazed doors that could be mounted above the kegerator for storing freezer mugs, steins, beer glasses etc... that would be set below freezing so that all glasses could be seen like in a display case, but frosted, ready to use ...
Seeing that nothing like this exists that I can find, I'm wondering if I could buy a small fridge and scab the refrigeration parts and use them on a home made insulated cabinet to get what I want...
Any of you engineering types care to weigh in on this? I'm thinking I would only need to get a freezer thermostat and use it to control the fridge hardware, and that since I'd be cooling a smaller space than the original equipment was designed for, this would not cause problems as far as load on the frigde cooling equipment goes.....where can I get info on how to do this? Anyone done anything like this before?

Thanks guys...I did a search for commercial food equipment suppliers, glass chillers, etc...and what comes up (including on ebay) are these large and very expensive undercounter units intended for bars and restaraunts...they're the size of dishwashing machines or bigger, and hold a couple hindred glasses...
I need something that has glass doors, wall mounts and holds about 18 glasses/mugs...
I think I'm going to have to build this thing...I'm thinking I could build the cabinet out of sheet metal (inner and outer shell) and insulate it with that expanding foam stuff.....was kinda kicking around the idea of using a dual glazed sliding or casement window for the doors....then finding a cheap mini fridge (with about twice the cubic footage of the cabinet I'm gonna use it on) to steal the cooling parts off of...reinstalling them onto the cabinet....but it's that last part I'm not sure about...I'm thinking that I'd go to an aplliance store and get a freezer thermostat to replace the fridge stat....
hoping someone around here that is the tinkerer type has tried something like this where you steal the cooling system off of one box and stick it on something else...and could offer some tips/advice before I dig into this...
PS...love the kegerator....course I've been half drunk every evening this week, but I imagine that will taper off back to normalcy (I hope...)....but what the heck...tis the season....

If it's what I'm thinkign of, the wine coolers at Home Depot are way too deep to mount on a wall...looking for something with only 6 inches of internal depth....the ones I've seen at home depot are intended for undercounter use...and I'd be surprised if they go down to below freezing which is what I need for freezer mugs...
Ot are you talking about something else? I'd be curious to see it anyways if it's not what I think it is...
