I'm not having much luck finding a nitrogen setup for any less than 290 bones from the keg connection. If I have to bit the bullet I will, but was wondering if anyone had the hookup on a full system at a better price? 
Nitrogen System - Best price for a new system??

Just a tip, check locally to make sure you have a source for beergas before dropping the coin for a system. It's not available everywhere.
I just did one part by part and ended up spending around 400. All I need to do is brew an oatmeal stout and she's good to go.
Airgas is local to us and I hear they supply the beergas.
Do you have an extra CO2 cylinder? Airgas took mine plus 5 bucks in trade for a nitrogen cylinder. It was about 15 bucks to have it filled with beer gas so I was out about 20 bucks plus whatever I paid for the CO2 cylinder originally.
There you go. That'll save you a bit. All you need now is a CGA580 regulator, a stout faucet, and some beer line and fittings. CHI had a bro deal on a stout fauct recently but I ended up getting one from BMW as I threw it in on another order.
Buddy of mine is in the business and says he'll set me up with a tank and gas for nuthin'. It's good to be the king!
Nice!
You can call up the guys at keg connection and have them remove the nitrogen cylinder from the kit. I just did this last month. Don't quote me on this but I think it was $240 without the cylinder.
Got the full kit for $280 w/ the cylinder. I was thinking about piecing something together, but had second thoughts about it and just ordered the full kit. I'm getting to the age where I value my time more than I value my moola
You can use a regular CO2 regulator with an adapter. Check ebay for a faucet. The Guinness ones are usually overpriced, but you can often find a Caffrey's, Murphy's, Boddingtons, etc. Even "stout tap" produces pretty good results.

You can come in under that with better components (IMO) from beverage factory. That's my plan anyway. I forgot to add the shank, but an SS shank is another $20 or so. Then you don't have any chrome plated BS touching your beer.
