Should I get a mini fridge or a full size for my basement?

We are finishing our basement and I can't decide if a refrigerator would work best, or if I should get a mini fridge instead. We have company over a lot, and part of our basement is going to be a gameroom, so people will be drinking a lot. A mini fridge would save space, but it won't hold as much, and when there are 5 or 10 people over, a case of beer isn't going to be enough, so I worry that a mini fridge won't hold enough. I was reading about mini fridges here ( http://www.mini-fridge.org/ ). I know there are some bigger ones, but I'm just not sure. At the same time, a full size fridge would work perfectly, but it would take up too much room. Do you think it would work if we got a full size fridge but we kept it off to the side in an unfinished area of the basement, perhaps by the furnace and stuff? It wouldn't be a fixture in our basement then, so it might look funny, but then it wouldn't take up any of the space in the gameroom. Thanks!

i would say a full size fridge because since it can hold more and it can effectively accommodate your guess. also maybe you can find use in putting some stuff in it that can not hold in another fridge in the house.
