If you do go thru with this are you going to be using seeds or a clone? It would be very difficult to grow from seed in that small of a space. Not to mention the possibility for a male plant exists. I would replace that blue led fan atleast before you swich to flowering. Check this out Newegg.com - SILVERSTONE FM123 120mm Case Fan - Retail
I use two of these to vent my space. Also I would get the highest watt CFLs you can find in the 6500k and 2700k range. Post some pics of the plans you have if you can.

hey turbolobster.... get some lowryder seeds. Thats what id do, VERY short, fast(like 2 months from seed to bud), and get a couple CFLs to put inside that comp... Would probably work alright. Or maybe grow in the great outdoors? just a thought. good luck.

yo man, im using a pc case in my closet right now. i found a flourescant light at lowes thats about the exact same length of the case. so far its been working great. one plant might work well, but more than that prob wont.

Chicehu rock. i will be buying the case but it has given me a few good ideas so i think i will buy the case and then as a side project i'll grow them in my own hydro case and compare results

With a PC modding experience and a good knowledge of airflow, I managed to creat this case, see pic, as one time my CPU fan failed, and I didnt know about it until summer, when the ambient temp got high enough in my room even with the AC on to make my PC shutdown! So heat in the case isnt an issue. Lighting: There are many different "white Neon" tubes that could replace the Black Light Neon that you see pcitured. I have thought of making a PC stealth grow (as my PC modding skills are up to snuff) but you still have the odor problem. If you are under you rents roof, they will smell it eventually. You can try to mask it, however not very effiecently with the space in a PC, no carbon filter, no spraying mists, no O3 generation. So only something outside the case, and if they took your first hydro system they might get thinking as to why you have so many air fresheners in your room around your case! PM me if you want some tips on modding your PC case. As I see you are on a budget. The neon white tubes dont come with lumen rankings, so I cant comment on that, might need a light meter, but smells aside, its totally possible to run a small one plant stealth grow, as the PC is a closed unit that is designed for heat disapation... You WILL need some good pruning/bonzi techniques to keep it compact and productive in such a tight space, as the hyro unit will likely have to be a custom design, not enough room to have the res under the medium, maybe put it and all the pumps and such where the DVD drives sit...
