yeah dude go for it i havent had a single temp problem and all i use is some cpu fans and a stationary fan blowing right on it it always stays about 85 the side i use only cfls gets hot all the time but that might be the way the fans are mounted i have to fix that

This is awsome man. Im picking up a 150W Hps next week and i was worrying about the heat but now that i see this it makes me feel better. That's great how close you can put it to the canopy too.
