I've started collecting some parts for a planned chest freezer setup. I am planning for at least 4 taps with the possibility of expansion. I will be using ball lock kegs.

I currently have the following parts
15# co2 tank
Double Gauge Regulator from Micromatic
4 way manifold 5/16" out from Midwest
(I'm working on getting a chest freezer and some ball lock kegs)

So, I believe I will need the following remainder of parts:
-Thermostat controller for the chest freezer
-5/16" Gas line to go from regulator to manifold
-5/16" Gas line to go from each manifold out to each keg
-Hose clamps
-Barbed Gas In with swivel nut, barbed liquid out disconnects for each line.
(why is there only a swivel nut on the gas side and not on the liquid side too?)
-Line for the beer (1/4"?) and how many feet per keg? 10'?
-Shanks & faucets (I'd like to go with Perick 425SSes I think.

Is there anything I'm missing? Are there better options that I haven't listed, like disconnects that make it easier to work with the system?
 
Looks like you have a pretty good handle on it. Might want to think about a small fan for circulation.... I use 10' lines that are 3/16 ID.
 
get some mixers from mcmaster..(look in the cure for short hose trouble thread) so you can run shorter lines.

Also some people have used the mcmaster line for beer line too. i ordered 50 feet for 8 dollars
