Building my first PC case grow box

I got a case from mrgrowpro which is a similar size, it is designed to look like a server case, waay to monged to compare actual measurements now but think yours may be a tad bigger. You would still be able to use strong magnets through the maylar which you could glue to the back of a power strip which your lights are plugged into using converters? Just a suggestion, as this is the setup in my case, although white/black polly is used to reduce light leaks (the black outside part) and it is more durable and nearly as reflective as mylar. I would go with 2 plants as it is more managable and gives more working space and you can get a decent yield, also if you get diamond mylar it is like a mirror it is so reflective!

Funny you should mention mrgrowpro, was going to get his case, but decided I want to build my own this time. I've seen several cases with the lights plugged into converters into the strip. I think it's a good design, but I would just prefer the lights to stay at the top mounted-like with the adjustable shelf. How would I go about the cooling? 1 intake, 3 exhaust? 2 intake, 2 exhaust? I know I'm going to need all the fans I can get. Is there a noticeable difference in plant growth between using mylar, black/white poly, or just going flat white paint?

depending on how much you want to spend and how much you are willing to DIY yourself, there are E ATX full tower pc cases that run $100+ http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811147053 this one you would have to block the big vent on the side and black out the little windows on the door, should be easy. This case has about one and a half times more room than that pc case on ebay you linked. shipping on that ebay case is a bitch.

Hmm... now I'm not sure which to get. The ebay case is 8.5" W x 16.5" D x 26.5" H (I believe I'm reading that right) and the rosewill case is 9.14" W x 22.84" H x 21.89" D. Seems to me, the ebay case is taller and would be the bigger case? I figured more Height would mean more space to grow over more Depth.

I am actually about to go shopping for my pc grow box parts. Don't really feel like waiting to order one online seeing as how picky I am about everything I am heading to a Micro Center and taking a look at what they have on hand. I believe you're right about Height being priority over depth with growing. But at the same time you might be able to yield more with more depth if you use LST and ScOG methods. I am a complete amateur so I am just making some assumptions based on my research over the past week.

look at this case Fractal Design Define XL either at Microcenter or on FCPU, if youre going for a stealth pc approach, this case is epic, sound proofing sides and a vented front swing door. http://www.frozencpu.com/products/im...ack_Pearl.html

I was actually considering this when I saw it at the store but I didn't like the swinging door in front. I'd like to have fans open and if lights the issue I'll just have to build a light trap. What do you mean by sound proofing though? Quiet fans? I have a question, should I use all 3 fans available on my case? It has 1 in the front bottom. 1 in the back top. Obviously the main intake and exhaust but then there is another fan up top. I am wondering whether I should also use that fan or just cover it up. Extra exhaust should be a good thing right?

Well, I really liked doin a PC grow. I had a lot of fun with it.

That tower at newegg is frikn sick, i almost want to build a new tower rig now jus to have one.

anyways, check out the BC Seedking purp i did in a pc case earlier in the year... Actual Contest Thread...

overall it was really nice. with a larger case, and a better yielding strain, I totally believe you could get a Z of dried bud out of 2 plants in a case.
