I don't know if anyone here has any 5gal plastic kegs that are starting to get popular in the professional brewing arena, but you need to be careful if so. There have been several explosions of kegs while cleaning them - usually the keg top separates and the keg itself goes flying straight up into the air, but one person passed away while cleaning a keg when it exploded into bits.
The latest batch of exploding kegs came from PKA and PKA has said their kegs are safe up to 60psi, but we've seen some kegs explode at 30. PKA is working with the breweries reporting trouble so hopefully we'll hear more information soon.
Since homebrew systems and equipment are less precise (often) than pro systems, I'd caution against using these at home with any significant pressure. Because of the failures some breweries may be looking to dump these kegs and they may be attractive to you but you may wish to hold off.
