Yeah, Micro Matic is pretty pricey.
Take a look at Beverage Factory

Yeah, much better. I'm planning an order from www.kegconnection.com. Also very good pricing, and a forum sponsor.

No problems other than price?

You didn't list perhaps the most important part of a kegerator........ the fridge!

you might want to go with shorter shanks if possible. Mine are 4" and kind of get in the way when moving kegs in/out. I have a collar on mine.

I guess I should have mentioned that I already have the fridge! Planning on mounting the faucet to the door, this is why I picked a larger shank.

What is your final price looking like?

Around $300, give or take. Not counting the fridge of course. The killer is that damn drip tray. I couldn't find another that I liked as much though...

I assume you are only doing just 1 keg? Otherwise you would need a gas manifold of some kind.

Also it's a good idea to have a check valve somewhere so your beer can't back feed into the regulator.

I just built one with 3 taps and 3 regulators. Cost me $100 a tap plus the tank swap at the local store which is 15 bucks a fill so you are way over priced.

Only things I say that were missing are:

Faucet wrench
brushes for cleaning
temp controller
shank washer

But did you do it with perlick faucets and all stainless hardware?

edit: Not that I'm not appreciative of you guys' feedback, but could anyone provide suitable replacements if I'm so overpriced? I compared 4 or 5 different websites on the parts that I wanted. I know that I could get much cheaper parts, but then I would lose out on quality.

For a cheaper Stainless Steal drip tray go to http://www.barproducts.com/ and search for DTS-419
You can mount it to the door with 2 L brackets.

The drip tray is unbelievably overpriced but I kind of feel that they all are except the one linked above by Plan 9. $14 for a 19.5 inch drip tray is by FAR the best price around. Also the gas and liquid disconnects listed by OP are expensive. They should be around $5 each not $10-$13.

Yeah, I definitely agree on the drip tray.

This is great, thank you.

Most places also sell the liquid hose for $.49/foot instead of $.80, gas hose for $.59/foot instead of $4.20/4 foot, kegconnections is having a special on CO2 cylinders, so a 5 lb one is $44.95 instead of $59.95.

This may not be the same faucet but this place has good pricing.

Just a thought.

Ok, I shopped around a bit more and shaved about $46 off of my total.

Glad to hear you saved some money. You could also save some by going with a regulator that doesn't have a High Pressure gauge. You will never be able to get an accurate reading from it anyway. You have to weigh the tank to really know how much gas is left.
