So I've been doing a lot of reading and thinking regarding kegging. It seems like if I want to get started with 2 corney kegs and a #5 tank and all the other stuff won't be absolutely terrible.

My main concern is that I have no fridge space or an extra fridge. Ideally I would like to be set up with a keggerator but I am aware this may be expensive.

Is kegging worth it if I have no keggerator or extra fridge space? How much, roughly would you think it would be to get set up with the fridge/kegerator? (All other factors excluded, such as the actual system)

Thanks for all any help!
 
I would search the news paper or craigslist and find a used refrigerator. Could also look for a chest freezer and buy a temperature controller for it. Kegging was worth the invest me for me. I literally just got done kegging two batches and cleaning everything up, including the carboys in about two hours. So it saves me a good bit of time and patience.
 
I keep my kegs in the basement without any additional cooling. Perfect temperature in the winter for English Ales. A bit warm in the summer, but still much better than having them over-chilled.
I wouldn't like to try with less than about 4 kegs though. (Extra kegs are relatively cheap if you buy them used.)
