This post is nothing more than thanks for the help and to tell anyone even thinking about kegging that it is easier than you think.
Bought my parts from kegkits.com, bought rubber gaskets from NB. Gave everything a good PBW wash. Prior to filling, soaked everything in StarSan; assembled wet; pressure checked; filled; now sittting on 15 psi @ room temp waiting for me to cool down my recently acquired chest freezer.
I figure it should be ready for first tap next weekend when I get back from Seattle.
