You mention building my own, but honestly I am not good at building things, and plus I really don't have the time to dedicate to that. An already built solution is much more fitting.

Micromatic includes very detailed instructions that tell you how to build. It's not hard at all. With you wanting to convert yours to a two tapper, you'll esentially be building it from scratch, anyways. If you buy the pre-made option, you're essentially paying good money for parts, and then replacing them. I think it makes more sense to purchase 1 tower and 1 regulator rather than two of each, and throwing one set in the garbage.

But you seem to not like the Danby brand. Any reason in specific? You also mention modifications. Are they hard/long to do? 25-35$ I could see myself spending.

I own the very Danby that you've listed from e-bay. I like it just fine, especially for the price I paid. I'm just making you aware that you will likely need to modify in order for it to function well (cool properly, etc.) It's on the lower end of the price scale for a reason. They don't all work so great out of the box. The mods are fairly simple. Took me less than an hour, and there are many detailed instructions in these forums on how to do them, as nearly everyone with a Danby on this site has done them as well.

How hard is it to clean a keg? I can't say I ever put any thought into this. I disassembly hard? One of the other reasons I wanted to buy the keg was I was thinking of maybe doing some home brewing down the line.

A corney keg is easy to remove the top and clean. This is what you'll be likely wanting to purchase and use for homebrewing. A 1/2 barrel or 1/4 barrel, I'm not even sure it's possible.
And yeah, Slavik, I understand the point about the price differential in Canada, likely due to import taxes, etc. But that's why I stick to my guns about building a freezer kegerator out of a conversion kit. This gives you limitless options at a much more attractive price.
