I have been following the thread on using a keg of carbonated water with different soda flavors and wanted to let those that aren't aware of it know about the Breakmate. I have had one for about 5 years and we love it. It was orginally manufactured for small offices or similar places.
I have a few pictures of mine on this album on Facebook (you don't have to be a member of Facebook to see them):

They haven't made the Breakmate for years but you can find them around on eBay and also some internet sellers. If you are patient I would expect that you could pick one up for $100. If you look at the pictures you can tell that they are small but these things are really a cool little compact unit. Coke is no longer making the syrup boxes but you can buy refillable containers that work great. You can put 3 syrups in the machine which would mean that you can have 3 flavors at the touch of a button. There are several configuration and mine has a button for soda water so like those that are buying syrups and mixing with a keg of carbonated water you can do the same but not mess with kegging and carbing water. Just add syrup to your cup push the button for soda water and you have unlimited flavors.
