I bought a kegerator and can keep 2 cornys in it. How long can home brew last in refrigerated kegs? How long can it last in kegs at room temp? I'm just curious if I should up my brew and buy more cornys. I have a little money to blow right now.

Yes - you'll want them eventually, and the value will not decrease as long as homebrewers exist. Coke and Pepsi have discontinued contracting for these, so the supply of "cheap" used kegs is fixed.
Overbuying on kegs will also allow you to cellar some big beers without concern for light/O2 penetration, as has been described in the thread. They can also be put to use for grain storage, fermentation of >5g batches, lagering, etc.

How long ago did they do that? Coke and Pepsi that is.

They haven't over here in Europe. In the states, they found it cheaper to send the bags of syrup out and mix while dispensing. It's been some time. But I don't know if the production has ceased since there are countries out there still using them.
