Kegerator owning and placement

Help Support The Homebrew Forum:
I used to have a kegerator which lived in the garage but have got rid of it as I have a Bar/Pub in the garden and now use 2 Maxi Chillers.
I have a keezer which lives (takes pride of place IMO) in my kitchen. In between my fermentation fridge and the fridge-freezer.

Mine used to live in the garage. It technically still does but we had it converted into a family room with a bar and it sits in the storage area at the back.
I have a kegerator in my home office (mini fridge) next to my computer. I use it for kegs and as a fermentation chamber to control temps. I bottle about as much as I put brews on draft.

Never had one as I hate a chilled brew and much prefer my brews at just below ambient temperature.
As a general rule, I can achieve this by putting the keg on the floor of the shed, even in summer.

Looks good
My keezer will soon live permanently in my study next to my kegerator once the decorating is finished. It's had a few different homes since we moved house in October, including garage and living room
I have had a keezer for a about 4 years and it sits in the kitchen/living area. Originally it was behind a moveable shell but it was a bit of a pain to access the keezer

It then evolved into its current incarnation, the keezer is behind a removable panel on right hand side and is on appliance wheel things so it can be rolled out for access.

Wow! Now that's great! How to make a keezer not look like a keezer! How are the taps connected if the keezer can roll out?
Mine used to live in the garage but now It’s in a BBQ hut in the garden
Two of them in the garage - too tempting otherwise 
I know what you mean. I had mine in the garage for a while, but moved it inside the house so I didn't have to trundle across the garden every time I wanted a beer. I'm now thinking that it might not be too healthy having it in my study
I had to put my hand pull in the garage… it’s just too tempting to pull a quick half off every time I walk past!

I have a beer/grain/hop fridge freezer in the garage along with a wine cooler and a fermenting fridge with room for 2 fermenters. Also a kegerator in the bar shed with 3 taps and room for conditioning bottles.
There’s just about enough line to pull out the keezer without disconnecting. I was worried about foaming with as much line as there is being out of the keezer but it’s fine. If I need to to get it out more for than the line allows, I have some John Guest on/off in-line shut off do-dahs (technical term I’m sure
). The taps are on a removable panel so I access them through there.
