Dont forget that to take into account the fridge door modification, it some times means you can use a smaller fridge as the door plastic takes up a considerable amount of room!

The somewhat obvious answer is that a 900 x 900 chest freezer will squeeze them in (height is less important because you'll likely be putting a collar on it anyway. As others have pointed out, remember that some cornies are slightly different dimensions. Same goes for a fridge, but then height is important.
Less obviously, you can get away with one dimension being a little smaller if the other is lager, because you can "stagger" the kegs. By my calculation (disclaimer: It's been many, many years since I did trigonometry
), 1125 x 770 will squeeze them in staggered. [Anyone feel like checking this? - I got 2.5d x d+d*tan(45)]Thanks for the replies,
I already have a small Chest freezer with 2 kegs in it, I cannot add a collar due to the compressor hump being 35cm high and it will make the taps on the font too high to pour.
I am going to purchase a fridge (can get one cheap hopefully) to hold 4 kegs for Lagering.
I know the kegs are approx 210mm, but I was wondering what is a comfortable size people have used to store the kegs.
my guess is 500mm x 500mm or do I need more space?. I am getting the people to measure the inside of the fridge for me before I purchase.

Woops - I misread your question: I thought you said your kegs were 450x450, and it didn't click that it'd be ridiculous.
The "normal" cornies are about 20.5cm diameter, and are about 63cm high. Therefore, a 47x43x75 will hold your kegs nicely.
The "squat" cornies are about 22.5cm diameter, and are only 56cm high, so that fridge won't hold them trivially, but you might be able to fit them in staggered.
