I know a guy who made a keggerator out of an old mini fridge by stripping out the components and then building a box out of plywood and 2" rigid insulation. Seems easy enough and would allow you to shape your container as desired.

These two threads are similar to what that guy did:

This seems to be a popular model. I was leaning towards this one. More expensive than the Craigslist listings though. Seems you can fit four corny kegs + CO2 tank.

I have a 5.something cu.ft.

I have a 5.something cu.ft. chest freezer which fits two corny kegs (either two firestone or two pepsi or a combination). Of course, you can go bigger. Here's a good link for sizing freezers by how many kegs you want to fit in it.
