Ok i want to start growing soon. I have been reading the forums, books, and watching videos. I have an idea for my cab setup but i would love some advice and maybe some tips especially on ventilation. I want to use this grow tent which is 20" X 36" X 64" and has 32 cubic feet.

I'll also be using a 400w hps with a cool tube and a vortex inline fan but I dont know what size yet. One thing i havent figured out is how im going to setup the cool tube and carbon filter. Should i have one fan for both or seperate fans for each. If its for each how big of a fan for the cool tube?

basically from what your planning on using i dont think you'll have a problem with ventilation if you get a second fan for the air space.
the use of the cool tube will keep you temp down drastically
you might also consider getting a digital ballast

on further examination of the grow tent i realized that it does not come with any fans.
you will need an inline fan for the cool tube, an inline fan for exhaust, and possibly one for intake.

if your goin vortex fan i just bought from here and their cheap too
Vortex 6 inch Inline Fan 449 CFM - Plantlighting Hydroponics (http://www.plantlightinghydroponics.com/vortex-inch-inline-fan-449-cfm-p-353.html)
thats all the fan you will need
to set up go open 1 side of cool tube, exhaust hose on the other connecting to the fan then from the fan another exhaust hose to the carbon filter
you will want the fan to suck the air out of the grow tent and blow air out the filter

hrm....
so the cool tube is open at both ends and the fan is so powerful that it sucks air from the growspace through the cool tube and out?
