Pc Grow Box *all input is welcome*

Ok guys.. here it goes. I'm going to need a lot of help but I have def done a little reading. This is my first grow so any input I look forward to.

Ok, already I see problems. This is day one but I need some help. If you see the outside of the pc box, in the back where the fan is its like a freakin flashlight. How do I fix that? I checked up on it after a couple of hours and the temp was at 88!! I need a lot more fans but I can't do much right now because of the light leackage so it's in my basement. I need to fix the light so I can put it in my room and control the environment easier. The purple fan is outtake and the intake is where the floppy is, in the front. You can't see it but yea.

Also, in the front.. theres the place where the harddrives go. Thats where the intake is. It takes up a lot of space but I was going to make a carbon filter. Is there a way I can take that out and make more room and make it smell proof some other way? Also, when flowering comes, How can I kill the oder when air is coming out the outtake.

I'll only address your light leak through the fan. By adding a tube to the inside of your cabinet - and equip that with a carbon filter, you will kill two birds with one stone. Odor and light control.
It can be done in several different ways - you'll have to choose your own. Happy grow.

How can I go about doing that? Also wouldn't that make it look weird? I'm trying to be as stealth as possible. Thanks.

Look weird? Maybe - but it's on the inside of your cabinet. Maybe 2-3 inches of a tube as wide as your fan - filled with charcoal. Lets the air through - and filters it, and keeps the light out. Everything's got to be a bit tricky in that small of a space. Happy grow!
