Okay, I finally picked up a decent side-by-side fridge from Craigslist and I'm ready to get a three tap kegerator set up. I've got some parts already from another craigslist buy, so I'm hoping for some help on figuring out exactly what I need.
The plan is to have two beer taps and one sparkling water tap, I also want to be able to connect a counter pressure bottle filler to the system.
So far what I have:
Currently have the CO2 tank and a single keg inside the fridge with a picnic tap.
My plan for now is to set things up to run two beer taps with the gas bottle outside the fridge, then down the line add on a second regulator body so that I can run higher pressure for the sparkling water (as well as for force carbing.) Basically I want to make sure that I don't buy parts now that will need to be upgraded when I get around to adding the third keg.
So here is what I think I need so far:
Is there anything else that I'm missing here? I have a morebeer gift card and figured I would pick up the perlicks and manifold from there, all the tubing and stuff I can get from the local homebrew store.

So far what I have:
- 20# Co2 tank
- assorted pin lock gas and liquid keg connections- enough to set up 3 kegs
- 1 standard tap with shank (I assume it's just a cheap one, definitely not a Perlick.)
- 6' of gas line
- 3 pin lock corny kegs

So here is what I think I need so far:
- 2 Perlick faucets (I will use the cheap one I already have for water)
- 2 shanks (How do I decide what length I need?)
- 2 lengths of beer line (need to read up on what tubing size/length I need)
- 1 three-way manifold - two connections for the kegs and one free for bottle filler and carbing if needed
- 2 lengths of gas line (from manifold to keg)
- drip tray
