HOMEMADE PC GROW BOX (IN PROGRESS) (ADVICE, LINKS, HINTS, TIPS AND DO NOT DO'S!)
Whats up?
Ive had some experience with using pc cases but ive never really documented any of it. Ill just tell you what I learned the hard way.
Its easiest to just spray all the inside of the case with flat white spray paint instead of trying to cut and hang mylar all over.
Also what type of light are you planning on using? Ive only used CFLs and getting enough in there will make you need more than one fan. My best working case had a 120mm and three of the smaller standard size fans for exhaust. Also mounted a standard size one with wires directly under the cfls blowing cool air across the canopy. Used 4x 26w CFLs in a smaller case than yours. Using one passive vent on the bottom front of the case. I also used the steel duct tape to cover all the light leaks inside.
Also if you plan on flowering then dont forget to make some PVC light traps for your fans. Unless you keep your case in a completely dark room...
Another thing... the power supply is going to add so much heat inside. All you need is a DC power supply of the correct voltage and amperage (cheap, a few bucks.) and a standard power cord to splice in the CFLs. Temps get hot in such a small area without alot of exhaust.
If you plan on keeping the case on the floor then I suggest rigging some panty hose on your intake slot because theres alot of things on the floor that will make its way in your case!
LSTing is a must.
Hope I could help a bit....
