Hey doco thanks for the input!

I got a cheapo $50 inline fan for now. With the 250W I think that'll be good enough. If I can afford it I will get a 4" or 6" Vortex later and use this inline fan for intake. The guy at the grow shop has used a 6" Vortex (month old, he used it) and is selling it at the shop now for CAD$200. If I can figure it out I might buy it.

If I move up to 400W later I may look at having separate filter/exhaust and light cooling fans, but even then I'd like to get away with just one outtake.

I know that the depth is a little bit of a problem, but I plan on doing SCRoG in the future so I'll have to train my plants to be longer than wide. If I hadn't bought that cabinet online today I could have got one for $20 more at Canadian Tire that was 21" deep and 72" tall, still 30" wide. Argh! I guess that's what I get for being impatient. Though Crappy tire doesn't deliver as far as I know so that might've been a problem.

I bought some mylar, loctite to put it up, the fan, a combo digital thermometer/hygrometer, 3M foam tape stuff (used on the veg cab), and some parts for the carbon filter. I couldn't find all the parts I needed at Home Depot so tomorrow there'll be another visit to the grow shop. Hopefully they deliver that cab in the morning so I don't wait all day!

The cool tube actually requires the most work which is why I wanted to do it at the beginning, but I think it might be better to put it off for now unless there's a heat / height problem. My main goal is to get the cab smell-proof as I can leave the window in the room open and have it pretty cool.

It needs to be mostly smell-proof. I realize that without sealing the cab properly some will get out, but some scent is acceptable, and this way I can use 1 fan.

Sorry for thinking with my fingers here and rambling a bit.
