I did a pretty accurate count and as of right now I have exactly 400 sticks in there .... which is the 7 SC trays and the 5 plastic overflow trays in the back.

I could fit about 50 or so more in there once I stack to three high on a couple of those trays I am only 2 high.

I always say that with my set-up you can go about 400-450.

Never thought I would fill this thing up but I'm getting close and just about broker than hell.

Thanks for all the comments guys.

I have not been able to get in touch with the brother who had this decal done for me but to put your mind at ease he also sent me a smaller decal thats was just the same as this and I tried to put it on the back window of my charger and it would not work.

This decal was meant for normal applications since all it took really was a wash and rub and cleaning of the back window for it all to just to peel away.

I know of another brother hooking up tons of these different sticker decals for very cheap (a few bucks a decal) if you are interested ... PM me and I will provide you with a link to them.

I loved this decal the day I put it on the cooler ... just ready set it off and made it look really nice.

Chris: working on a 280E setup similar to yours. I've cleaned it w/ a distilled vinegar widedown, washed it down with unscented dish soap and aired it out. When it isn't running, I have no plastic smell. When it is running, I get the plastic/new motor smell. It's been running for about 4 days. Any tips on getting rid of that?

I haven't tried the newspaper trick yet. The next step after getting this squared away is putting some empty boxes and DW in. I ordered drawers about a month ago, so they should be ready soon.

Thanks for any insight. Your setup looks great, by the way.

Very impressive Chris....I like how you have shown the progression from start to finish.....Nice Job

Hey Chris, I just picked up my 280 and just finished the 1st wipedown with Baking soda and water, going to do a few more tricks that have been mentioned above before I start the filling process. Have you sold are are you ready to get rid of your shelves yet? You have been an incredible help in the process so THANK YOU!!

Glad the thread helped out so much brother! That was the only reason I wanted to create this build thread was I wanted to help out future BOTL with theirs as well and between here and another forum I have helped Tons so far and that makes me very pleased.

My collection was starting to get out of control but some recent wedding set-backs forced me to sell around 100 premium sticks and I now have plenty of room ... so the thought of buying a drawer system from Forrest and selling the trays won't happen for a while now I think.

If you are going the tray route though I still recommend you getting some trays from Forrest ... he sells the same trays basically for $10 ... and you can also get them for like 3 bucks more a trays to go about 2" deeper and 4" for $7 more more.

The one thing though is for 10 bucks I dont think Forrest trays come with divider and CH.com does ... you may be able to work out a deal with him if you email or PM him.

I would have bought the ones from Forrest if he had these back when I build my cooler that are 2" deeper cause I would have more and I would still I think have room for the palstic trays I got in the back as well.

But I suggest the funds to go to a BOTL on the forums for the 10 dollar trays instead of CH.com ... plus they may be build a little better with pssibly thicker SC wood maybe.

Let me know if I can help out any further with your build brother and good luck!
