Find seven (I can count!) single-gauge CO2 regulators and buy some copper pipe (appropriately threaded) and some plumbing tape.

Failing that if you find somewhere that sells these assembled post it here :P

I suspect McGuyver or someone else might have a slightly more useful suggestion as to how you might easily build one.

Did someone call McGyver??
I've got my inline regs down to $17 each at Amazon, just about to ordered up a couple more. (pm me if you want any) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00173AZ40/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&m=A1BB0GDPEIAGXP Combine them with the anti backflow http://www.usplastic.com/catalog/item.aspx?sku=57173&catid=489 and voila, gas anywhere, any pressure, any time. Now I just need to figure out which design to use for the cold cupboard and get off me arse.

I like those inline regs - they look cool... just need some sort of manifold (or a bunch of tee's maybe?)

just make sure you have a check valve on each connection to a keg.

Yup, with the reg so close to each keg, it wouldn't take long to foul them up with out a check valve, and at $2 for those check valves, cheap insurance.
