Hello just got a amazon gift card and was looking into buying everything needed for building a pc grow. Can someone suggest a cheap pc case thats has the size to grow plants. also what are the things you plug in the wall socket and then you can plug a light in it. thanks

That's about the same size as my case, it'll work but you'll have to lst or scrog to keep height down. If you can, try find a full tower case, that'll give you more height to work with.

These are the adaptors you're after. They plug into power board and ya cfls screw into them http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001OM1L06/ref=mp_s_a_10?qid=1340152261&sr=8-10

Sure can man! Just check my PC grow in my sig. Only 1 plant heavily lst'd. I yielded 18grams dry not huge but that's enough for me for a few months til next harvest
Only used 4 x 24w cfls thruout the grow, started from clone.
