I actually decided to stay with what I've got for the time being, some creative tetis allowed it all to fit.

Regarding using ice chests/coolers, I certainly understand why some choose to go that route and can see why they work well. That said, they're just not a route I'm interested in simply because I enjoy the aspect of having a finely crafted piece of furniture that looks like it fits into the room instead of a stack of plastic Coleman's that just look like you haven't cleaned up from the last camping trip. Coolers just seem so inelegant, not to mention that while they'll hold more they also take up WAY more real estate than most cabinets excluding large display units like DaKlug's.

A vinotemp is about the closest thing to a cooler that I'd consider and then only because it can look quite presentable in a normal room, or man cave, if using a solution like Chasden's drawers.
