Biermaxx mini kegerator/dispenser

wonder could you mod it to replace those fecky co2 canisters?

I imagine so, top part is just a plastic lid, not even insulated too much, so drilling a small hole for gas line to go outside shouldn't be a problem. I am not very DIY person, so will take it to somebody who is 

a newbie question about kegging, co2 part. could anybody guide me on what's needed? I know from reading around co2 tankfrom AJ would be the best option. than a regulator? what type and where to get?(prefer to get it now and pay extra 5-10 rather order online and wait few weeks) and gas line itself? connectors? do I miss anything?

thanks

loads on forum about it do a search read the wikki, you are the 4th in 3 weeks that just missed a group buy on regs, good luck with the 5 or 10 
All the HB shops sell them and check out done deal as well

Ive noticed a drawback with this when I powered it on - the fan is far from silent which kind of rules out leaving it in a living space. Hopefully the fan is only on when its actively cooling, otherwise Ill have to look at replacing it.

did a little test run another night. filled one keg with cold tap water and left it in a cooler. dropped from 22 to 12 degrees in just under an hour. and fan is only on when it is cooling and periodically when maintains the temperature. so it is not that bad.

left mine to a friend, over weekend he's gonna take lid apart and see if there is a handy way to get that gas line out. fingers crossed

had a bit of disaster yesterday. tapped a keg and it did not seal properly, so all pressure from keg as well as co2 cartridge was lost. only managed to pour two pints. here is a pic of it. I wonder if rubber bung should touch the top of the stem.

Wondering if anyone has built something similar:

After few kegs I found plastic parts to be quite poor quality and very fragile, don't think they are gonna last a long time. System described above seem to be good option. Any good hardware or plumbing store around Dublin that would have all the bits and pieces?
