hell i fit 68watts (2x13w cfl, and 1x42w cfl) in a super small box... basically the more lights you can fit the better... the small the box, the more useable lumes i believe... like lets say you have a 1000w hps in a 1 square fot grow box, it would do better than if you had a 1000w hps in a closet... you get what i am saying? i hope i make a lil sense...

I understand your point - there has to be an optimal size though - right?

I could put them in a very small box but then I would not be able to fit much of a plant in the box.

Let me rephrase - what would be the best box configuration for a newbie who has 2 105w CFLs?

i would go for the rubbermaid option... just grow out of one, or stack them like my homie with the cfl bonanza... he has his boxes perfected for a perpetual harvest... also, you may wanna check grow room design thread... they have alot of info about that type of thing... how many plants do you plan on growing with those lights?
