Build It...most definitely
My recommendation would be to build it yourself. I had an extra side-by-side refrigerator in my basement that I converted to a kegerator. I ran the lines up from the basement into my kitchen so all you see is just the tower sticking out of my counter. I only spent about 8 hours getting the whole system set up. It is helpful to have all of the right parts and tools. To that end, I would recommend reading the information on this site for running a beer line 5 feet. My run is slightly longer at about 6 or 7 feet, but I get a perfect pout every time.
I also saw that someone mentioned the slant in the bottom/back of the refigerator. I too had this problem and only measured 15". However, I solved it by building a platform to set the 1/2 barrel keg on. I would recommend doing the same thing. My platform is about 8 inches high on all sides.
