Building a stealth cabinet grow box

Hi guys.
So I reccently finished up with a PC grow box and got not too bad a yeild for my first time.
Clearly a PC grow box isn't going to provide the sort of yeild im looking for though so I've decided to convert my clothes drawers into a grow box.

This box is about 1m in height, 60cm wide and 30m in depth. Nothing big but I'm not looking to go big.
P.S. Thats 39 inches high, 24 inches wide and 12 inches deep.
So at the moment I've pretty much know I'll be closing it up and mylaring up all the inside.
The next step would be Installing fans and lighting.
For the fans I'm just thinking some basic PC fans would do the trick.

Heres what im thinking I'll get. If you look at the frequently bought its got the 3 items. The 4 x Fan, the "100-240v AC to 12 & 5v DC 4pin molex 2A power adapter" and the "zalman zm-mc1 multi-connector PS to add fan".
Could anyone tell me if these three items will provide me with enough ventilation and all the nesscary parts to run the fans from a standard power plug?

hey

skip the mylar and use Ir blocker ........it is just like mylar but will block the ir signal so really is hidden

the other thing is u did not tell us the light u plan to use .....so can not tell u with any degree if they will work or not
cfl will make more heat then a led

as for how to hook them up really really simple u have a bunch of plugs in the house that are well useless that have power converters and all that good stuff u need ......can be a old telephone or some kind of gadget

u just need one of those plugs they are normally good for 2 pc fans running on 6 volts .......if your fan saids 12 volt then u will need just one on a plug then since they are only made for 12 volt

but the plus should look something like this ......just check the volts if 12 then one if 6 then 2 .........u wire them in like anything else and tape them off

I'll check IR blocker out then!
Just trying to suss out the cooling system them i'll get onto the lights. I'll probably go with CFL's.

Have you considered cylindrical booster fans? do you plan to use a carbon filter for the small? I get the space you're working with is limited but maybe a booster fan and a very small diy scrubber like this one? http://forum.grasscity.com/do-yourself/569506-diy-carbon-filter-compendium.html

That would be good if stealth wasnt such and issue. That'd just be a bit large for what I need.
These fans might do the trick actually? Bit expensive but come with everything I need.

Anyone think this is a good idea?

no not a good idea ..............that light is ment for flowering more then anything else

u see that mostly red color with only a few blues and then some white ...............that is ment as a booster light


a LED is going to cost u for a decent one that can be used as both grow and flowering ..........a full spec led light will work on autos but not very well on photos

u need something like this
http://www.ledzeal.com/p44.html

trust me contact the ppl here on that site .........that is the markers they asked me not to post the pricing quote i got from them since it would mess with the resales here by shops doing damage to their biz in the long run .................Kevin is the one i talked with but that light will do everything u need in one light plus a UV mode to make resin really swell up

they sell other ones other there that can do both growth and flower they are switch able but only growth and flower
