Those 4"inline fan's are quiet and work well.But the 6" model work's better with a carbon filter.I just started using the 6" for exhausting through the carbon filter & the 4"for fresh air intake.Work's great!Good luck & happy farming.

I'd say whatever is easier and more convenient for you to set-up/operate and available space etc.. I'd say this ones all up to your best judgement

alright so 2 of these one for intake one for exhaust. they are 80cfm whould this be good in a 2x2x4 cab?
Been wondering the same as you about the difference between these and PC fans.

IS 80cfm enough to go through a carbon filter?

How quiet would they be inside a metal box?

For a small space like yours I personally would go with 120mm computer fan. Cheap, quiet, and economical.

I'm using two 120mm fans, one as intake and one as exhaust but I still have a heat problem. I have read that it's most likely because my exhaust isnt powerful enough to be the dominate force. I have a sterilite 2 shelf cabinet and I'm fighting the heat

Your room is 16 cu', that fan will change the air 6 times/minute. That's plenty.
Use the highest wattage bulbs you can fit in those sockets.

where are you shopping for bulbs? I googled "6500k cfl" and came up with 26 watt bulbs.
I bought my 105 watt's from http://www.1000bulbs.com/ they have every bulb you can think of.

just make sure you use 5000k-6500k for veg and the 2700k for flower, theres tons of info here about cfls if you search
