Here is a picture of one of the kegs:

As you can see, the top has 4 posts available. The lid doesn't have a pressure relief valve-are they available for posts? I am trying to think of different possibilities I could setup with these, so I'm just looking for a few ideas.
:mug:
 
Soulition #1: just send them to me and never worry about them again.

Solution #2
Port 1 Gas in
Port 2 Overpressure valve (perhaps intended for a compressor tank?)
Port 3 Main beer out with tube 3" from the bottom.
Port 4 Emergency reserve tube 1/4" from bottom for use after #3 blows!

Sound Jiggy?
 
Those will never work.. Just send em my way!

JK, I think you have the right idea. Still jealous of your SCORE!
 
Hey Big10,Seeing as you've got three of them-send one to kiltlifter,one to "MoRo" and the third to me-then no worries as to how they need be plumbed....
Just kidding-they should work well,I believe you can acquire pop-offs that'll screw into one of the unused bungs on top no problemo. Good luck with them..... now to find a few of them myself....... Shane

I would change #3 & #4
Port 3 Main beer out with tube 1/4" from bottom
Port 4 Emergency out tube 3" from top of keg for when people show up without notice
