Building a Grow Desk. Needing Help!

Whats the best way to power 4 or 5 - 120mm pc fans? I'm in the need for a new desk so i'm building my own out of MDF. But this desk will be a "Grow Desk" with a flowering and Veg "chambers"

The Desk.
2 - 10" Built in sub woofers (overhead) and tweeters.
Desk Lighting (with light switch).
Electric cabinet locks with keypad.
Groblu LED lighting (flowering).
Florescent lighting (veg).
5 fan speed controller.
Hinged top
Adjustable veg floor height (Don't mind the double doors because it will just be one door)

The top, where the red is will be filled with activated carbon.. Window screen over the fans to keep the carbon from falling into the fan blades.

Top will have an air-tight seal.

Bottom cab is flowering.
Top cab is veg.

Also. Do you think it would be a big deal not to add an intake to the veg chamber?

Intake from flower > Exhaust into veg > Exhaust from veg into the "attic" > Than exhausting that air out the "attic" through the activated carbon and out the back.


I always had the carbon filter inside of the flowering area pulling the air through it, than exhausting the air out. I never did it like this, but i would think this would work just the same way, would it not?

I have everything to do this with besides the Groblu lighting and paint. So i'm ready to start building this next weekend (hopefully).

Oh, i do have an Arduino Duemilanove. I bought it for a project where i had a trail cam mounted to a stand. When deer or something else would walk out, the camera would track them and take photos. It didn't mater if the deer would come behind the camera because it was "Continuous rotation"...

I took it apart because i was wanting to make it wifi or something and tweet me when the cam was triggered.. Never could figer it out though lol


Thanks for the links to the guide and adapter!

Sounds awesome, did you build and program it yourself or did you find a guide? I'm really interested in those arduino boards but not sure if I could make anything good on my own.
