I ended up getting an Avanti Mini pub instead, because supposedly it was all set up to do what I needed without a conversion kit. The problem is that the CO2 cartridges just aren't enough to dispense a full mini keg of homebrew. I talked to a gas distributor about converting the thing to hook up to a conventional CO2 tank, and they said it was feasible, I just havent had the time or money to get it going. As it is, I have been able to dispense directly from the mini kegs with decent results, which I guess is part of the problem, not enough incentive to get this thing running. Hopefully this fall I can get it together because I am sick of looking at this giant paperweight on my kitchen counter...
