What can you do with an old pc case?

Heres what i can do ^^.

Since those pictures I've actually moved the two proper bulbs into the sockets (had to go out and buy them), the fan output on the back is totally light proof now (made a kick ass vent for it inspired by someone elses vent design i saw a few days on this site...dont remember who you are but props to you). The fan is even attached to a tempurature reading unit so it blows faster if the case gets hotter, and the few light leaks in the front are taken care of. Hell i probably could have even made the back so it still had that regular computer power intake if i hadnt been so lazy with the wiring.

I plan to use this to house clones and start seedlings in so i can reserve all the space in my other growbox for my big girls.

Hmph this sites been hating me uploading pictures lately. Suppose ill give it another shot.

I personally think it would be great for a mother.

Really? I'll have to do some reading then. I don't fully understand the process of cloning yet but thats because I don't have a strain I plan on continuing to grow over and over agian. I've just done a bit of growing with some bag seed so far so I can figure out whats up before I head into the big leaguers.

a mini one. not worth it. need more buds:stoned:

Aye thas why i was a bit curious. I thought the grow space was rather small so I planned to use it as mostly a place to start seedlings and let them veg for a while. MAYBE to grow a tiny little plant in, could get one of decentish size if it was lst'd, or maybe even scrogged.

to small u wouldn't have any room

i wouldnt have any room for what?
Posting it complete thoughts is awesome :-p.

Plus im sure with a little creativity i could bring a plant to bear buds in there.

Did a bit of reading on Bonsai mothers durban and your right, that thing would be PERFECT for a well maintained bonsai mother. Might just have to make myself a mother once i get a strain i like growing and make that her home.

ty for the tip man, rep to you.

LOL I love it! :D :D

A mother can live there... and if you're patient, you can create two nice "bonsai" mothers that'll be just fine and dandy in there.
Gotta watch out for light leaks through the fan, but overall, looks good!

As for the light leak from the fan get some 4" dryer hose or flexable tubing paint it flat black on the inside, attatch it over the hole using duct tape then bend it at 90 degrease walla no light leak from outside or inside.

I like the light shining thru the fan, looks like the 'puter has Intel: Supercharged... but yea thats quite some creativity, good job!

how tall is it from the light to the bottom?

Oh the light doesn't leak outta the fan anymore...well it didn't. I crafted a little vent thing that I saw a design for on this site and it worked great for killing the light, It killed the fans ability to move air though. Thats mostly because it was hastily made, I can easily make an effective one that won't mess with the fan once I've got the motivation too. There are a few other light leaks that I need to deal with by taking the case apart and dealing with them via some kinda caulking compound. But that'll have to wait as the box is currently playing home to two headies seedlings.

As for the over all height, from the lights to the floor of the case is probably about a foot and a half to two feet, I'm too lazy to get the measurements now. All you need for a good bushy bonsai mother is about 8 inches by 8 inches.

For my pc grow i took big black trash bags and cut them to fit over the holes. With the light blocked out i took mylar and covered the entire inside.

Hmm...that could work, I'd have to strip all the aluminum tape off the inside. I dont think I'd go that far just because the light leaks are very minimal at the moment, aside from the glowing beam that comes out of the fan hole.
