Wow you are lucky then, there is no place in my area that sells systems for $75.

I have decided to spend a little extra and get a 600watt electric ballast. Now i just have to decide on what reflector to get with it. I think I will be purchasing from HTG on ebay unless anyone can show me a better value.

I am stuck on what reflector to purchase though. The two I am looking at are similar but one has fan holes and a glass cover but is $50-60 more. I know i should probably purchase it so in the future i can use it for better cooling but would i be able to get away with having a fan blowing on the hps for sufficient cooling until i can find a good inline fan?

I am not growing in a little closet or box but rather my attic space.
