Vinotemp lists replacement parts for the 28 bottle units. I considered purchasing the parts to make one. The prices for the replacement coolers and controls weren't that bad.
But you would still have to purchase the power source and controllers, which will bring the price up.
I'm still in the 'research' stage. I'm trying to do it as cheap as possible.
I found this a while back and tried to email the guy to see if he had any updates or suggestions, but I never heard back from him. He did a fantastic job from what I can see.

Shipping isn't cheap by USPS standards, but then again, nothing in Canada is. Shipping generally runs $19 -...
They don't warm. So if they are in an environment lower then the preset desired temp. then the interior will eventually drop to the outer environment temp.
