Hey Guys,
Im doing a stealth grow in my cupboard and havent much of an idea about connecting up power.
I have a 700w Artic Power PSU ATX12V v2.2 compliant spare and was hoping to use this for powering a bathroom Extractor fan (220-240V -AC 50hz 17 Watts IPX4) and 4 x PC fans for cooling.
I intend to have a ballast with 4 T5 80w tubes and possibly an additional 2 CFL's on the side for an added kick (check out my other post for pics)
Problem i'm having is Im unsure how I am going to connect this all up, I assume the ballast for the lights will be wired directly to a socket but for the fans is 700w PSU overkill? I have other PSU's lying about from old PC's I could use them but as I have no idea about hooking PSU's upto anything other than a PC I really dont have any idea what my best option is or how I go about wiring it all up, If anyone with the knowledge could help me out I'd be very grateful
Regards,
