To quote Chris White: "It depends."

Now that I got the smart ass answer out of the way, the answer depends of the exact dimensions of the inside of the freezer. One 7 cu. ft. freezer might be 4" shorter and a couple inches wider than another. This can make a big difference on how many corny's you can get in there. I learned this the hard way on my first kegerator.

The best thing to do is to cut a bunch of cardboard circles the same diameter as your keg and take them to the store with you. Just spread them out in the bottom of the freezer and you will know instantly how many kegs will fit.

I love it when I can learn from other peoples mistakes! Thanks Bug!

A while back, I did what Bugeater recommended....I took my 4 cardboard cutouts with me and went shopping....

I was able to get a 7.1 cf Whirlpool from Costco for about $200. It fits 4 corny's with a 5lb tank on the hump. Since each make and model is different, make sure you can fit your cornies and tank!

Cheers!

Here's a very good thread on chest freezer sizing.
