If money's an issue (and isn't it always?) then you could do a search for some of those rubbermaid grows, and try that out for a cheap veg box. Some of those rubbermaid grows are really pretty impressive, but not sure how much of a MacGuyver you have to be with those. WalMart sells some little cabinets for like $40 or $50 (probably Lowe's and Home Depot do too), which are decent for vegging.

20" long, the bulb? Sheesh, but I'm not surprised. I have some 105-watt and 125-watt CFLs, and they're pretty big too (not 20 inches big though). They almost need a new term for those, because 'compact' they are not.

Advise on building a 2 compartment wardrope hi guys, ok i am in the middle of constructing my wardrope into a grow room. 29.5 inches wide, 70 inches in height, 30 inches deep. I have already cut out 6 holes (3 inches wide-each) at the bottom ride hand side of the wardrobe for fresh air to come in. Rating: 5
