Hi,
Haven't posted much to the forum, but have found tons of useful info here, so thought I would make a contribution.
I wanted a 12-13" cheap drip tray and spent a while searching. Most of the shorter stainless ones are expensive ($35+) and the only cheap one I've seen is the 19" model most people get from barproducts.com, which is a little to wide big for my two-tap 5 cu. ft. keezer setup.
After a lot of searching, I found a 13" model made for commercial coffee machines. It has a stainless steel grill top and a black plastic bottom, which separate for easy cleaning. I paid $14.67 + shipping which was like $8. Came to $22.86 with shipping. It's nice quality and works well. Here's the link:

I didn't want to drill into my freezer or glue the drip tray on, so I got some extremely strong neodynium mounting magnets from K & J Magnetics. Since I was already making an order from them and paying shipping I also got some nice, cheap disc magnets to attach the drip tray to the brackets (glued magnets to tray) for easy removal, since the mounting magnets are really hard to take off. The mounting magnets may have scratched the freezer paint job a bit.
I also got some more magnets from them for making a DIY stir plate, along with a great neodynium stir bar. I'll have to post that also at some point...
