Cube fridge jockey box....maybe

[Kirkwooder]

So, I've brewed for years and have always wanted to step up to kegging my brews, but budget and space have kept me bottling.

I truly don't have room in my tiny house for a kegerator. However, my wife brought home a dorm sized "cube" refridgerator form work, that is in perfect working condition. This made me think that maybe I could use it to make a jockey box kegerator.

My question is can I, or should I, keep cory kegs and a co2 tank in a closet and plumb them to the cube with a cooling coil inside before finally coming out a tap on the side of the cube?

I attempted to do this myself, the coil idea was a fail. After the first pint or two, the coil had warmed and the pours became foamy. I switched to a cold plate and would leave that submerged in a bowl of ice that I filled prior to serving. This worked well until the ice would run out, which only happened when I had people over. In this case I would just refill the bowl. Eventually I just moved to a full sized fridge.
