I actually gave up kegging a few years ago. I started doing it during college because, well it's college and everyone was always over and wanted beer. Now I don't have the time to have as many gatherings, plus with having moved 3 times in 4 years the gatherings are no longer like back in college.

I still have all of the equipment (including a plate filter), but now bottling is nice because I can bring a 6-pack wherever I go. I do plan on returning to kegging, I hope to brew up a Kolsch (maybe even 2 or 3 kegs worth) for my father's 60th birthday next May (he grew up in Cologne).
 
I'm picking up two corny kegs today! I found them on craigs list 2 for 50$. I couldnt pass that deal up. I'm looking forward to kegging! Also the guys wife homebrews and is trading homebrews with me. Lucked out on this find!:rockin:
 
I recently did that exact same as the OP. I ordered the pin lock kegs from Midwest Supplies and got a steal on a 7.0 cubic foot chest freezer from the Home Depot. Here is how it turned out.

A few more pics. I filtered a pale ale, but it got clogged in the holding tank. I didn't want to waste the beer so I poured the rest into the serving tank. There was a little sediment on the first few pours but then it went away.
