This box is 20"l 17"w by 23" high. The grow chamer is 13" w by about 17 inches high. As you can see customed this box out so no light can escape. Its going to be good, i can feel it.

I have a big question. My Thermaltake computer fans, though very quiet, are making this anoying humming sound that blower fans also but out when you try to dim them. Know what im saying?

I dont know if its the way i mounted them or what. I uesd plumber tape and wheather striping, making sure that any thing touching the fan and mount have at least two layers of the strip. The strip is about quarter inch thick, but is very squishy which might be the problem, i can squish it down to like a 1/6 of a inch.

Anyways any help would be aesome and help me get my journal up quicker. This is pissing me off right now, i put all this work into silencing it and these fans are humming like mini blowers. im almost sure theyd be noticible even when the box is complete, like i think they will tell me, and anyone else around what its name is. a Grow box. If you catch my drift.

(sorry for the blurry pics, im like a crack head holding that camera, cant keep stil)

Expertise will be worshiped.

Edit: oh, and dont stress on the heat isue, i have 4 more thermaltakes

One more will be placed in the row of two, the intakes, and three more will be placed by my hand (3rd pic) exausting

I think what you are having there is sympathetic vibrations. It is like when you actuate a string on a guitar. The string vibrates and the vibrations are transferred to the bridge and then the wood of the guitar. You may want to try a strip of hard plastic or rubber to dampen the vibrations. Good luck with your box.

thanks for the input guys, much appreciated


Sweet. A harder material youd recomend? And yeah i imagined it had something to do with vibrations coming from the blades. what kind of rubber would you suggest... hmm....

87 views and nada?

i have a 6" duct fan as my exhast. it also make that damn humming. but if i leave my ceiling fan on in the living room it helps to hide the noise. so although you might not be able to kill 100% of the sound. maybe you could you your grow box as a aquiriam stand w/ fish, air bubblers and all; it would be stealthy. either way if u start a grow log id watch good luck

Fucking great thinking, great. Yeah ill keep a big box fan on in the room, should have thought of that one, and i love the fish tank idea. Just have to find a tank and a airater. Tight shit. I think ill actually get around to that, itd be 100000% stealth with that little touch. Plus rep.

well, just about done.

I managed to secure the exast on two to the roof and side of the cab and it worked out aesome. No humming whatsoever. The intake is a different story. i only have the roof of the cab to secure it to and it just isnt working out. This thing is really turning out nicely, let me tell ya. not sure its going to be enoufh height now though, as there isnt as much air flow as i was expecting . Im going to run a test tomorrow and see, hopfully it will work out.

On more question. So cpu fans are 12v. Household outlets put out 120. Soo could i hook up to fans to one plug, 10 X 12 to equall 12ov?

eh ?
