Default Outdoor Kegerator

I am building an outdoor kitchen. I want to put a kegerator in this barbecue kitchen area. I need some suggestions of kegerators that I can use outside (built in to my kitchen area) but I want my beer to maintain 33 to 35 degrees. Any thoughts?

I am still waiting for an answer. The reason I am asking this question that I have been told that if I do not go with a stainless steel kegerator ($2400) my beer will not be 33-35 degrees. If I go with a $800 kegerator which has only a stainless steel door the beer willbe only 30 degrees cooler than the outside temp. This kegerator is outside and I am in Southern California.

I need some help..here please!!

First who told you this? That would suggest if you put it outside on a 78 degree day your beer will only get to 48, yet if you put it inside and had your thermostat on your AC set to 78 (where I set mine) it would be fine. Google up +outdoors and +kegerator and see what is available. Some kegerators certainly shouldn't be placed outdoors but there are some built for that use. I've shoved my cheap old Danby out on the deck for parties with no problem. However if it were extremely cold out I'd have problems.
