I am about 50% of the way through my equipment purchases at this point (6+ months later). Here are my notes/equipment.
Equipment Setup:
$135 floor burner http://www.northernbrewer.com/de…$35 leg extensions http://www.northernbrewer.com/de…

$170 immersion chiller: http://www.northernbrewer.com/br…
$70 pre-chiller: http://www.northernbrewer.com/br…

$140 http://www.northernbrewer.com/br… It's not necessary to have a double body regulator, but it does allow you to carb one keg while serving the other. I also have a single body regulator hooked up to a 3-keg distribution manifold, but they all have to be at the same pressure (carbing or serving). $650 kegerator http://www.beveragefactory.com/d… (This is the one that I got.It came with an empty 5lb CO2 tank and the single regulator and manifold. You can add a bunch of options if you don't purchase the hook-up equipment when you buy your kegs. )
$14 line cleaner for kegerator http://www.northernbrewer.com/br…
Cleaning/Sanitizing:
$20 cleaner http://www.northernbrewer.com/de…$16 no-rinse sanitizer http://www.northernbrewer.com/br…
I got my kegerator from beveragefactory.com. They seemed to have the best deals for the product.
