Default New Guiness keg SetUp HELP

I just bought a Guiness Logo Keg.. Name and stamp on top. I am using it mostly for home use or parties. I want it to run ****-top. So Shouls I use the nitrogen Co2? How big should it be. I dont currantly have a kegurator so I will probably Ice it constantly or keep it out side in a cold closet. I want this to run sharp, so also I need to know wha tis the best tap, I would in fact like a custom one for upright use, I think. I'll probably have a keg bucket or Ice Bag for starters. Also if anyone can post some links info or shopping.

Drink the drought Guiness and never forget thine misses

If you really want to enjoy Guinness, get a kegerator. Otherwise, be prepared to have varying temperatures for consumption. Use 25% CO2 / 75% Nitrogen cylinder (10 pound size if you can find it) at between 28 and 35 PSIG. Here are links for equipment - coupler / faucet / regulator / shanks / beer line and connectors.

That stuff is a bit pricey? Canit be found cheaper, like at E-Bay? Also can I use a 5LB Co2 instead of a 10Lb Co2? How about a continous ice bag or bucket for coolness? It is almost winter you know. Thaanks for help and info

EDIT NOTE:*** SO I need a Co2 a regualte gage, (prefered doulbe), a Keg tap and a faucet? Right. What about line to tap and away from tap? And how doe s the fauset work. DO I have to Mount it or can I Just find a pour spout or what is best here. I am a little modest, I live in a apartment so less modification are good here and now.
