Anyone have recommendations on type and where to get kegs? I have a couple of paintball c02 tanks, will those work well with this type of set up?

Congrats Wollffy! that is a nice find! I think I'm going to start looking for a small appartment size type fridge to mount my tower on for all my new gear. The paintball tanks will work but you might have to get some
adapters for them to be able to use them also you will have to get them refilled much more often then the normal 5 or 10 pound tanks. As far as getting corny kegs you might want to keep an eye out for deals/specials that will pop up from time to time.
Adventures in Home Brewing will have them in the $35/$40 range from time to time.

Thanks all, I picked up a 20#co2 and lines, one korny keg for $150. Kegerator is ready for dispensing. Even have co2 in the tank for plenty of pours!

Be sure to check ALL fittings for leaks or you'll have none. Not like I've emptied a 20 pounder or any thing
yeah, I read about it somewhere.
I spray the top of the keg with Star-San and mix up some dish soap with a little water to dab on ALL the regulator fittings and just look for bubbles.
My leak was on part of the preassembled regulator I purchased new.
Congratulations on your new system.
