Hey dude, I've been doing a same project for the past 2 days 
This is more fun than playing poker hehe I am up to the Lights part, I am using 2 CFLs I think thats enough for 1 plant.. they both have 6500k lights, I also need to make a box for the wirings just above the lights, because my lights is a lamp connector, I had to do the wiring like the old lamps, and hook it up to one connector that will sit on top of a timer, I had to go with this old lamp style because I couldnt find the same lights adapter you have there, where you can just imply use a power point... anyway thanks for showing us the videos! awsome work!

Hey ..
I just finished my first pc build, and have got two plants in it right now.
For lights, you really should go mix spectrum - 2 x 6500k and 1 x 2700, this will give the girls the spectrum that they like. I've got a power bar mounted to the side of my box and and used three of these http://www.harriscomm.com/media/cat...8eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/N/C/NCHD-LBI.jpg to put my bulbs in.

I just passed the power bar plug through a small slit in the mylar and plugged into my timer (be sure to get a time that has a ground in it).
I hope this helps!

Cheers back from Egypt

You're guide inspired me to work my own Pc grow box.. I'm working on it right in the moment and just got with the lame rivets although i have no drill around so a brick and a screwdriver did the job. Sounds a bit Gypsy-like ehh? what ever to get the work done. Will post pics as soon as i get done =].
-First time getting in touch with anything relating to marijuana growing, let the beginner's luck hit in!

Today's progress.. no Electronics set yet.
The big fan on the right is supposed to be In-take and the 2 on top left are vacuums =]. Laying it off for tonight.
I messed my power supply up, or i didn't although it has no switch so its somehow useless.. i'd give away the few extra stealth points and just wire the multi-switch out and guess that'd be fine. Finishing it tomorrow and running for soil and nutrients, hope i can reach a gardening store in here that's got stuff similar to what i can view online so i wouldn't ask much.

Anything big enough and cheap, you don't need something fancy since anyway you're going to break everything in it down.. Its your grow box so you pick what you need it to look from the outside. Cases usually have a power supply unit and a fan coming with it and those should be fine. Just saw your post after few months of your post ehh.. Hope you'r plant is running all fine by now.
