I purchased this unit in August 2011. Had to pay shipping, assembly, and installation. After I got the unit assembled, I plugged it in for a test. All seemed to work fine. Next, I purchased a 1/2 bl. of draught beer. Installed the keg, set temp. to 34 degrees. Waited 24 hours before I drew a brew. Lots of foam. Checked Co2. Approx 9 lbs. psi. Should be ok. Next, checked the temp inside the unit (set for 34) temp, inside was almost 40 degrees. Lowered temp to lowest range. after an hour, drew another brew. Foam again. Temp inside unit approx, 38. After some research, the tower does not get cold enough to help stop the foam. Now I must find a way to get more cool air into the tower. Another item was how do I keep the temp inside the unit constant? I then placed a 33K ohm resistor in parallell with the units sensor. This allowed me to lower the temp to 30 on the readout. Now the temp inside the unit is closer to 33 and seems to be more constant. You have to be very careful when putting a 1/2 bl. in because the inside is all plastic and using the base grill does not give you much room to tap the keg when it is inside. Since I have placed the mod on the sensor, my warranty is now null and void. But the unit works better. I am going to install a small fan inside the unit to help circulate the air therefore hoping to get more cool air to the tower. I also sealed the unit via plumbers putty around all hoses and sides to help seal the unit as well. All in all I am not happy with the unit and I would return same if I had a chance to get a full refund. If you figure draught beer vs. can/bottled beer, you save approx. $4.00 per case. So, depending on how much beer you use, the break even point is not too great. Respectfully, one unhappy person. . . . . .

what is the difference in Plasma and LCD?
Plasma runs much cooler and when it comes time to replace a light engine, well plasma does not use one!

what does the panasonic VIERA product do for you?
It makes me feel like I have the Pioneer Elite for much less than $6K.

Best for SD programming?
We want to get an LCD or Plasma TV, but we do not have HD programming. We have standard Dish programming and regular DVD/VCR (no Blu-ray). We have no intention of upgrading to HD, other than the over-air broadcasts. What would you recommend as far as LCD vs Plasma and size?
I would buy plasma
