This is selling used for $350 on Craigslist. Any idea if it will hold 2 five gallon kegs?

I kinda doubt that it will.
I recently bought a mini-fridge about this size, and was able to get enough room to hold 3-gallon corny kegs. But it wouldn't hold even one 5-gallon. Height was the main problem: the fridge isn't as large as it looks because the compressor takes a chunk o' space out of the bottom back of it. But even with the shorter 3-gallons the width was an issue- I had to cut into the inside of mine and scrape out about 2 inches of foam insulation in order to be able to put kegs in side by side. I also had to do the same to the door to get front-to-back space (it eventually fit 4 3-galloners).
I didn't mine working with mine because it only cost me $75. I wouldn't want to pay $500+ and STILL have to start hacking & cutting.
Still a tough call, though. mine was a fridge, so it had a small freezer compartment which futher limited the space. This one probably doesn't. And since this is designed for kegs maybe they have a different compressor design that doesn't cut into the inside space quite as much.

Lowes sells a deep freezer for $125-$150. I'm going to get one tomorrow. It looks like it will hold 3.

I think I'm picking one up on monday for my kegerator [FINALLY], but Home Depot has a 7 cu ft GE model for $199. I grabbed a tape measure from the other side of the store and figured out it'll hold 5 cornies, and I'm guessing the co2 tank will fit on the compressor ledge

WOW!!! I wasn't sure if mine would even hold 3. Lowe's has a 6.8 for $188. Will HD hold 5 even with the compressor in the way? Will you have to put in a new temp control or will it adjust to 38-40F.?

ALWAYS use an external temp controller with a freezer! They normally don't go above 20 F.

I found it at Sam's for $178. I think it was anyways, it was less than $180.
