After careful review of everyone's tips and expertise, I successfully converted my side by side in the garage to a kegerator. The pics show my newly converted fridge - I'm proud of my garage now.
It's simply a keg of Miller Lite, I wanted to work the bugs out on a cheap beer. I plan to tap some Anchor porter in the next month or so.
I guess I need to let it settle, I got alot of foam in the first hour at 10psi - we'll see tomorrow.
Someday, I hope to graduate to brewing my own, but for now, I will enjoy! Thanks for everyone's tips.

Here's my reward to myself -
Just think, you could fit 2 or maybe 3 DIFFERENT beers in there if you brewed.

:-) Congrats. Now you might want to invest in some type of crowd control. Beer taps draw crowds!

As I noted in a recent post, unless your garage is heated, don't trust the freezer section to keep things frozen once our weather starts to get colder (or will it?). The fridge side will be OK.

When I first taped my keg I had a lot of foam also. I think this was due to the keg not at the correct temp. Once the temp was right every pour has been perfect.
Lets see a front shot of it

Looks good, but what's all that milk and soda doing in there? That's a beer fridge, tell the wife to put that stuff in the house so your friends can come by. Now you need a flat panel TV and a dart board in the garage and you'll be all set.

Here's the plain ol front view - a buddy gave me a Newcastle tap handle that I plan to install.
It's funny you noticed the milk and stuff, 2 kids eating me out of house and home - it was a "compromise" with the wifey on getting the kegerator that there be room for a few non-alcohol items. I choose my battles, but hey, I've got a kegerator!!
I'm already thinking about buying 1/6th kegs and putting another tap on after this keg is gone. Will post pics, then too.
