I've seen the posts on the DIY's and I'm sure they work but frankly they look homemade. Are there any manufactured that are rechargeable? One that you can change the activated carbon/charcoal when it gets saturated with stink? I'm buying a nice looking steel cabinet and I'll probably have the filter either on the back of the cabinet for aesthetics or if it's not too big I may put it on the inside at the top. I'll have a thin rack of T-5 lights so I should have plenty of room.
If I do that it will be: the filter inside connected to the fan mounted to the upper right corner of the inside right wall as high and as far back as possible. I'll put a louvered dryer vent that I saw at The Home Depot on the outside that will only open to positive air pressure when the fan comes on.
I'm seriously thinking of putting a baffled one on the intake at the lower left side of the left wall as far forward as possible that will only open to a negative flow of air when the fan comes on. I'll probably connect the fan through a thermostat or a timer to save on electricity. Has anyone already done this? I'd appreciate any advice from those of you who have. To me this makes sense but it's still uncharted territory and I don't want to F up a good cabinet. Thanks, HSA
