Just surfin a bit and came across this

Seems like a good deal with free shipping.
Anyone ever used a KeggerMeister?

I have never used nor seen one before... but be forewarned, that the co2 'regulator' pictured is a flow regulator not a pressure regulator and will not work properly for beer. There was another company selling similar setup a while back that had constant complaints about the "regulator".

I don't know. If I was going to do a Keggorator on the Cheap I'd be scouring Craigslist for a used refrigerator (about $50) and get a fridge kit from keg connection. The cost will be lower and it will be more expandable.

Alternatively you could look for a dorm fridge and get a tower kit for just a little less than the all in one.

Im not sure if my answer is gonna help ya but here go's. I had the same isssuse you had ,all this beer and no way to cool it. Well I decided to build mine and it actually turned out better than expected. The big challange for me was to build a working refridgerato right in it, not one of those binky little apartment sized things but a real full sized cold box that will do the job for months at a time or year round for that matter. It turned out to be approx nine foot long and thirty inches deep.it has a tile top and separate cubbies for the Co2 and beer glasses my wife chimed in and suprized me with a snappy ceramic two tap tower. Oh and did I mention the fridge? Yup this cold box will hold two 15.5 gallon kegs plus room for a corny or three with no problems keeping it all about 42 degrees for those thirsty travelers at any time that urge calls. Believe it or not with my scavaging parts and pieces some new some old I did it on the cheap. To be honest I it ran somewhere in the ballpark of $600.00 total I takeled it in stages knowing one day it would be there.
