I just built myself a system much like yours but with the tower on top of the chest freezer. Learned that unlike a fridge a freezer has lines running through all of its walls, but the lid should be hollow minus some insulation and perhaps a light. I used a very old freezer but found the diagram of wiring online, all the walls are off limits though, it would be to big of a risk to try n find a hole.You should be able to remove the inner lining of the lid to make sure where the wires are and whatever else is in there and then reattach after you drill. Thermostat line for me is in the floor, I drilled a hole though the access panel back wall to get my digital thermostat into the freezer without having it hanging in back, but if you are running it to your kitchen then appearance is not an issue. This wall is not only insulated on all models so be carefull. Good luck, the outcome is great.
