Anyone know the width and height?
Marinedepot.com has one for $89 - is this a good price?

kegworks.com (http://kegworks.com/pages/draft/airtanks.html) has a 10g CO2 tank for $79, although in both cases you have to look at the shipping costs as well. They have a table at the link above with tank sizes. The 10g is 6.25"(dia) x 22.25"(tall w/valve).
Most posts I've seen on this recommend getting the tank locally. They must (by law) be shipped empty, so you're going to have to find a supplier anyway to fill it and neither of these prices seem that low when you factor in the shipping.

Marine Depot lists the exact measurements of their tanks at http://www.marinedepot.com/a_cr_co2_acc_info.asp?CartId=
If you're keeping this inside your stand, measure carefully. My 10# tank is 25-1/4" high with the regulator attached. Different regulators are different sizes...just make sure it'll fit before you buy.
