Or you can rent one from BOC for about $122 a year and $55 a refill. Some people use a modified C02 fire extinguisher.

Depending on how long you intend kegging, and how close you are to your LHBS,
it might be best to purchase the cylinder from your LHBS, and then swap and go as Gregb mentioned.

Long term the initial 180 bucks is ok, and you will end up in front when its only about 30 bucks for a full replacement cyclinder.

Also, you can still sell the stuff if you stoppped brewing for some reason...

cheers,
