My first kegerator lasted about four years before the compressor went out. It was built from scratch and I originally used it as a Fermentation Chamber as well before I made a separate one. £65 for the fridge with delivery off of Gumtree. Two new corny kegs £85 each. Shanks, taps, tubing, John Guest fittings, pressure regulator, and clamps about £150. You'll also need to leave a deposit for your first CO2 cylinder and buy the CO2. I use Adams Gas. I also needed to buy a suitable drill bit and foam insulation (be careful with this stuff it gets everywhere and it's hard to remove.)

Roughly £450 all-in. The advantage of this over a custom made kegerator is that my better half can use the extra space when doing a lot of cooking, which is useful especially during the holidays. The disadvantage was that having taps on the door led to a loosening of the beer line connection once. Lesson learned.

Good luck!
