I am keging for the first time I'm going to be going from primary to the keg my question is should I hook up the gas To the pressure I want and let it condition and corbonate inside my kegerator for a couple weeks or should I put co2 in it purge out the air and put it in the closet to condition then hook up to gas and let carbonate a week
 
Congrats on your new kegging system! Personally, I'd do your latter idea of hitting it with CO2 to ensure the keg seals, then purging to eliminate any O2 in there and leaving it at room temperature. The high temperature will allow it to age-up faster than in the kegerator. Leave it out for a week or two and then go ahead and carbonate.

Good luck!
