1.) I think you're probably right. The second is very likely not required. The tower fan I purchased isn't the most powerful thing so I felt having the other fan would help keep air moving and temps more constant. My theory: The more the air circulated, the more even the temp would be throughout...
95% There!!!
Remaining:
-Some cosmetic work on the wood
-Final coat of epoxy to sort out the last imperfections on the top
-Clean up some of the cords
-Finalize a position for the internal circulatory fan
-Organize the tubes inside
-Clip the beer tube 1.5 feet to finish balancing the system...
Back Support: Added half a board to both provide additional stabilization to the structure as well as provide a dark background to the upper shelf area.

Compressor Fan: Added a third fan that is connected to the thermostat...
Cooling: I decided to go with both. Running the line through copper tubing, alongside a thick tower fan. Plenty of room for return flow. PVC piping is capped off and I cut a hole in the cap to run part of the shank in.
The shank has a chill to it, but I wouldn't say it's cold. I'm thinking that...
Hooked everything up inside:
PVC Hole: Used a dremel to carefully saw out a 1.5 inch circle on the top, dig out insulation, and saw a 1.3 inch hole in the interior plastic. Dropped in a 1.5 inch PVC pipe connector, and secured it with hot glue from bottom sides, and edge seal. (This will allow...
Set the caps onto the surface. Went for a bit of a mosaic feel, no specific pattern, just went with the flow of the caps, colors, lights and darks. Like how it turned out.

Poured two layers of epoxy. The first layer was a bit...
Anybody have additional ideas on this? I'm looking to have the copper tube run through a 1.5 inch PVC pipe (will be insulated on the outside) so I can also utilize a draft tower fan for tower cooking + kegerator air circulation.
Since I'm trying to blow air through as well, the friction fit...
