Is this everything I would need? Or should I be looking to source the parts individually?

You can probably do better if you shop around some. I run a longer narrow diameter beverage line to reduce foaming and I prefer perlicks to the standard chrome faucets.
I would go with a 10# tank but thats just me, also agree on the perlicks. You can carb and serve about 4-5 kegs off a 5# tank. Not too bad but a 10# isn't much bigger and lasts twice as long plus you get a better deal on gas.
Heres a great link for beverage lines and getting all that sorted out.... http://beersmith.com/blog/2011/07/14/keg-line-length-balancing-the-science-of-draft-beer/

I'll start looking around. I measured cornys at the lhbs today and they will fit in the fridge. It's coming soon.
On a side note, finally was able to brew again since I have fermentation temp control again. Double brew day (about 8 hours) of a DIPA. Devils brew. Look close...

They are new. AIH has new for $75 each. Very close to the same price as used.
I ordered it with the kegs and it came at the same time. I didn't realize the one I bought was white lube though. Food safe and had good reviews. Anyone ever used it?
The only stuff Ive used is sort of foggy clear and comes in a little black container. Stuff lasts forever. If its food grade I imagine your good to go but you can always run the brand name through a HBT search and see if home brewers have some experiences with it.
I did that and it seems legit. It's called Petro Gel and it is apparently used in the food industry. I bought it from AIH and it is sold as a keg lube. I was just surprised to find it was white instead of clear.
Big day for beer yesterday. Conversion kit came in, dry hopped my DIPA and brewing a Xocoveza clone. Not exactly sure how I'm going to add all of the spices. A little concerned that a tincture will pull strange flavors out of the pasilla chilis.
Fwiw consider putting all the gas in posts on one side and beer out on the other. This way you'll never have to look at the post when moving lines around as long as you put the keg in right. I think with the right type of post it doesn't matter though.
All I know is one time I hooked my gas up to the beer out post like I've read of others doing. What a nightmare. I made a point to never do that again lol.

Made a starter tonight for brewday Saturday. Gonna brew my Mosaic saison. Just in time for the hot weather. Still recovering from surgery so my son and my brew partner will be doing all the work while I sit around.
As head brewer, it's your prerogative. Get well soon.
Sparge is almost finished now. Looks like I may have overshot my volumes a touch but am boiling for 90mins and want 11gal in the fermentor
