I started reading through a bunch of the keezer threads and plan on "borrowing" a whole lot of ideas from you guys when the time comes. I think this should make a great winter project but I am trying to figure out where to start. I have a few questions:
I was wondering if anyone has compiled a list of required parts needed?
Would it be better to shop for each item individually to ensure quality?
Is there a web site that has the best pricing and service?
Should I have everything on hand before I start so that I know the exact dimensions that I am dealing with? Or is it best to order as you go to get the parts in the dimensions that are needed as you build?
If you have built a keezer, what would you warn me about up front or do differently if you were to build another?
I can handle most any basic woodwork tile and electrical so I am not too worried about that stuff. I may need some help figuring out the electrical layout but not worried about doing the work once I know it is laid out correctly.
Thanks for posting so much useful information for everyone and I will do my best to try and give back what as can as my project moves along.

I am not talking about wood and such because that is all dependent on personal tastes. The mechanical items needed to get the keezer functioning properly.
Would it be better to shop for each item individually to ensure quality?
I am completely new to kegging and do not want to go and buy a kit only to find out that half the items in it are sub par and have to replace them again later at an additional cost.
Is there a web site that has the best pricing and service?
I have looked at a number of suppliers and most of the pricing seems to fall within a certain range but where are you getting the best value and or service?
