I love it, very stelthy I'm currently working a similar project, but on a much larger scale. What kind of CMF fan is that?

Hey B. Grunt just looked at the pics a little closer. I just made a micro grow Cab about the same size for fun too. Mind if I make a suggestion or 2.

1. that light fixture can handle 2 spiral florous. they make a dual bulb adapter for a buck or two. double your lumens. The cool whites are a lot lower temp then the soft whites too.

2. May want to put a couple of more fans in there. My box has 1 big fan intake and 2 cpu out. and its still @ 78F. It fluctuates to 80F and this is still with the Cab door open a little. I am still working this one out though. My house thermostat is set 72F. I have 4 42W spiral florous in mine. (just thought I would throw that in so you can head that off at the pass).

Killer micro-grow dude.
