Well, you're going to need to do a few things with that freestanding unit.
First, make sure it can be installed under counter, not all of them can. If it's not an under-counter mount it might work for a while but will eventually fail if it can't get fresh air circulation around it.

Second: You'll need a relatively airtight tube between the inside of the fridge and the taps. If you're using a tower on the countertop, there needs to be a sealed pathway between the cooler and the faucets, and a way to circulate the air in the tower or the beer in the tower and the faucets will get warm and you'll get a glass of foam, not beer.

Third: You'll need a CO2 bottle and regulator to push the beer out of the keg(s). The pressure you'll set the regulator to will depend on the temperature of the beer. This won't just push the beer, it'll keep it carbonated. This page has a lot of good info.

Fourth: You'll need a way to clean the lines. You can buy ready-made stuff or DIY depending on how handy you are.


If you have any questions, shoot 'em at me and I'll do my best to answer.
