Thanks again. And yes I can.

So I managed to get the chiller tidied up a bit today....got everything level and the evap lines installed. Just need to cut to size some of my support blocks and screw them down....and that's about it. I'm going to be drilling 2 holes in the lid later(where the grommets are) to add my feed and return hoses. I think 1 on each side of the evap will work well, with the return pouring down the side for better dissipation, and the feed at the bottom with a strainer/filter from a Wagner paint gun on it.

Probably insulate the board next weekend somehow. Here is a couple more pics....sorry the one is so blurry, must be I moved, but you can still see.
Do you realize the exposed part of the evap still had snow all over it when I got up this morning...and the lid was ajar. Pretty good cooler I guess.

I wonder how fast it would get beer cold. I'll have to try a cold activated Coors light can in there sometime.

EDIT: I had to add 1 more because I got it looking a little better yet. Nice and quiet like a good air conditioner with those bricks on top..........I just cannot believe how long that coolant stays cold?
