What miztaj made is more along the size that you would need to grow 1 to 4 plants. You really need the height for a good grow, because if you only make it 4 feet high, you have to account for the reflector and light.
When miztaj finishes his, he'll only have 5.5 feet for a plant or plants to grow(which is plenty and is about half a foot taller than mine), then you have to account for the pot, could be as large as a 5gal bucket, so really when you account for all of that, you'll have about 3.5 feet for the actuall plant...and that's plenty, but even in a cabinet you still have to be selective about what strains you grow, because they will eat up that vertical space very quickly.....I get so tired of people using a fucking rubbermaid box that's less than two feet tall and then posting pictures of their "sick grow".
Miztaj, your cab should be pretty nice when you get everything fitted and Girrah, that's what size you should be aiming for.

Thanks guys... I think Ill do 6ft high, 2 1/2ft deep, and 3ft wide... That sounds perfecto!!!
After this first grow I wanna drop a 150 or 200 watt Hps light in the cab... Im thinking of maybe a Wonder Women or Trainwreack grow... Im not sure yet... But this grow has been in the works for years...
Grrrr, I hate some of the laws here in the US... Anyway +Rep guys... Any advice on forgiving strains would be great too...
-Girrah-Im growing Green Hose seeds Train Wreck, Got there five pack, All popped right away and grow like there was no tomorrow. I find it easy to train, light on nutes, use half strength, and buds in 6 weeks you can smoke. Better to let it got the full eight weeks though. I am using a 400 watt in a 2x4 cabinet.
Its the dual cabinet journal link below if you want to check it out.

Thanks punk,
I did some thinking when i planned to build it.Had to take account for the height of my res(DWC) which is 12.2in and my 400 watt light hood that is 8in plus about 10inches or so from the canopy of the plants to glass on the light hood.So i'll roghly have about 4ft of plant space which should be plenty.I was initialy omly going 6ft but added the extra 6in just cause. So girrah u should be good with your 6ft plans

I'm stoked... Next thing I need to do is get the in-take and out-take worked out... I wanna use computer fans , but if I can find a cheap alt system that would be great... So any tips would be nice...
