I finally got around to finishing my portable mini keg setup. I'm pretty anal when it comes to this kind of stuff and I'm really happy as I couldn't have hoped for a better end result 
With ice packed it the keg stays cold for over 24 hours and with 2 gas bottles there is no chance of running out of gas (unless you leave the regulator connected like I did over night - silly me). It's pretty inconspicious as it looks like a normal esky apart from the gas reg. It's totaly portable and easy to move on good sturdy wheels. It's a sure party hit and means I now NEVER need to bottle any beer again - oh the joy!
Parts required for this setup were -

I had a few pieces of equipment that I use for my normal keg so I don't count them, they are -
Nice and compact and not too conspicuous
Plenty of room for up to 3 bottles
Nice tight pop top for lines to run
Snugly fits the keg with lots of room for ice each side
Full and ready for action, very easy to wheel along and good strong handles to carry up stairs.
Hope you guy/girls like and a Big thanks to Ross @ Craftbrewer for the awesome service and advice
