Consider the heat and energy consumptions. Side by side grows of 1000w and 600w systems often show that 600w produce similar weight yields because they do not encounter the same heat issues of a 1000w. I had one years ago and could not keep the temperature in the closet below 90. Robbed me of much bud. 1000w are awesome producers. But, ask yourself: Am I prepared, and capable of cooling the room to 75-80? My 3 600w room required a 424cfm exhaust fan, carbon filter, duct muffler, and 300+cfm air conditioner in the rooms. As the soil dries, my temperature still raises slightly, despite my efforts. The water days bring the temperature down to optimal levels.
I hope you can pull it off. If I were trying to do it, I would consider a cool tube design with a couple heavy duty exhaust fans. Perhaps one exhaust fan per 2 lights. Also, you'll need intake, because even with the pressure created, it wont supply the exhaust with enough air. Consider as well the power consumption. If you didn't know: you multiply the amperage rating of the breaker you are plugged into by the voltage limit, the answer will be the maximum wattage for that breaker. You should never exceed 75% of the equation, or risk electrical fire. You may have to run extension cords around the house covertly to balance the load across the panel.
For example: a 15amp breaker, times the standard 120volts will max out at 1800watts. Though, your should not exceed 1350. Make sense? Good luck and God speed. I would definitely follow a room like that.
