Lots of people have built a collar, I imagine somewhere somebody built a wooden lid. Just be sure to insulate it properly
Here's what mine looks like.

You can make it look like whatever you want! I used the lid and made a fake "skin" for the top. That way the factory seal is still used.
It looks like you used the same freezer that I did..

Whoa! LCDs? What's up with that! I have a feeling it's pretty cool!

Cheers!

Really nice!

Yea I am interested in the LCD's too. I need something else for my wife to wonder why I spent money

I love the treasure chest look too.

Heh, yep. That way I know what is on which tap, and how much is left in the keg!

I wrote about it here:

I love the treasure chest look! I think I'm going to stick with the collar and then dress up the outside with a skin.
