Starter keg setup questions.

[NJTomatoguy]

I'm tired of bottling, and want something I can take with me when I move.
I have a full size fridge-GE 17.5 cu ft.
My measurements (Bottom up) = from the bottom of the fridge,with the veggie drawer removed,
31 inches to the bottom of the second shelf.
6 inches between that shelf and top shelf- Both shelves can be raised.

Right now in my fridge I have condiments, lettuce,carrots, yogurt, eggs, bacon, and beer. So plenty of room.
I would use the 2 kegs and 2 picnic taps.
Here is the kit I have in mind:
2 Keg Basic Keg Kit, Dispenses two kegs at once! (Separate Check Valves!)
I looked at keg dimensions, and homebrew kegs are 23 high by 9 wide.

Does anyone have any experience with a starter system like this?
Is it messy- how prone are the picnic taps to leaking?

Opinions?

Check out the same system at Brew Logic Dual Tap Draft System- with Reconditioned CO2 Tank :: Midwest Supplies Homebrewing and Winemaking Supplies
I've been pricing them also. Not sure about the fridge situation.

I have never had a picnic tap leak, they have a fairly strong spring in them. As long as they are clean, and they're easy to disassemble and clean, they should work fine.
Once you do this, you'll probably be tempted to install shanks and door faucets.
Don't be tempted to shorten the beer hose, it needs to be at least the 5' or longer like 8', and keep it coiled.
