If I was using that case I would have 2 exhausts. First one in the old psu opening as you have done. 2nd one would be in the top fan socket below the psu socket. I'd rig up a false front out of something, probably cardboard covered in reflective mylar, cut a hole in the top and mount a fan there and fit it about 2 - 3 inches behind the real front of the case. The fan will be able to draw cold air from the intake you already made at the front and it would be fairly lightproof too.
The idea is to have a flow of air across the lights and the plant canopy and on towards the exhausts. It's not scientific but it does work. Normally you should have equal pressure going in and out but you will need some kind of odour control and light proofing for the exhausts which will reduce their efficiency so it should work out about right if you use 3 similar fans.

Sorry if I'm repeating what you already said dopewear.

Think I did a post on hooking up fans in SketzoH's pc grow club. Might help. check my sig for a link.

Ok thanks yall the next updates will be Monday or tuesday when i get money lol imma go hit up wally world... For now imma just use a old Power plug for a router to power all the fans... and imma run it out the bottom of the case. Ill be back im playing World Of warcraft right now sorry.

Any new pics of the case, Shiftsta?

G

not atm its at the same place later today i should hit up the store to get the mylar/ lighting.

Just got back from the store

Well i added the Cardboard. And I used a car window reflector shelving brackets and power strip.... Then put the lights in... I have one aimed low for when they are babies. i can change it to the top .

Looking pretty good man. I wanted to try a PC grow but ended up moving to a rubbermaid. I like the idea though. Good luck to you, I'll be following along with you.

looking good. Best of luck!

Thanks yall. And how do you do a Rubbermaid setup???? Well imma germ the seeds today if imma do ScrOG how many would yall put.

Check out the link in my sig. That's my rubbermaid grow setup. It's really simple and cheap.

Nice setup ... ISSUES Doing a trial run for 24 hours to see what my case hits for temps .... RIght now im at 93.4 atm wit ha 60% Humidity with nothing added in the case. Where do i put the thermo... I have it stuck to the door at the top and i think its pickin up alot of extra heat because there is no way the case is that hot. ican feel the air at the back of the case... and its not no 90.... Im gettin Pissed. about to throw the whole mother fucker in the trash. 93.6 FUCK THIS THING.

Haha. Relax man, you'll get it all figured out eventually. Try putting another small fan inside to move some more air around. Ive heard of other people freezing water in a bottle and putting the bottle by the intake to cool the air coming in. Passive intake works well. Put the thermometer on the soil with the plants, so it measures about the same area the plants are. Try any of those ieas. Hope you get it all figured out man.

The case has two intakes one exhaust the intakes are runnin pretty good and the exhaust is a beast ... its still going up its at 96.8 and thats on the door pannel..... AHHHHH WHat the HELL. lol sorry for the freakin but i dont know what to do

shifta whats the temps in the room around you?

I think you should trash the case. Just grow em out in the open. I would hate to be in a small case all the time. Just find a spot to put em at dark time.

Well that would be a great idea but our house is on the market for sale and id prefer to not have to grab a bunch of plants and equip if we get a showing atl east with a grow case i can plug it in in my car and blam good to go power converter ftw

Germing seeds right now the temp on the door panel close to the lights and the lights touch the door panel btw is stitin at 92 stable now. I figure the mid case is around 80 my room air temp is at 74 now. Got the two intakes going and the single exhaust but i kinda cheated and added a Blizzard fan to point towards the two intakes lol dropped the temps ALOT lol was at over 98 on the door lol

Sounds good man. Glad you got your temps in order. I'm sure as time goes on you'll find small remedies for problems. Good luck with your seeds. Hope all goes well!!

good luck shit! home many seeds you germing?
