Thoughts? I'm upgrading a single keg system with two kegs (I can only connect one at a time) to a 4 keg system with one being on its own co2 regulator (for carbing).
 
Here are some comments:

* I think you are missing a gas disconnect and the nut that goes with it.
* I am not sure you need that much of gas line
* You will need more that 5ft per tap of beer line. I got a kit from kegconnection 2 months ago, and 5 is just not enough, even with 3/16 ID line. I had to re-order to make it 10 per line (receiving it this Thursday). 10 might be too much, but I prefer slow pour than foam.

Now the price from kegconnection is good, except for the kegs. 3 weeks ago I got 4 kegs delivered in CA for $165 from sabco (brew-magic.com). But it looks like this past days, prices for ball locks kegs have been rising. I was also very disappointed with the 4 kegs I got with the kit from kegconnection: not cleaned, one with wrong post (they made this one right), one poppet leakin from time to time. The ones from Sabco were great, clean, and shiny.

Hope that helps
 
Thanks for your feedback. I already have a one-keg system so I only need to order 3 disconnects+nuts extra.

I might get the 10' beer lines though, foam is a constant problem for me with my 5 foot line, despite kegconnection's insistance that 5 feet is perfect. I have to turn down the pressure from 12 to 5-8 psi to pour every time.
