you could make do with that probably, but your really going to have to make sure to get some short autos because at least 6 inches of that room is going to be taken up with lights so that leave you like a little over a foot if you leave 2-3 inches of room from the lights to the plants, and you would have to use cfls because you really cant keep any hid that close to the plant.

Lights, fans/filters, and pots all take vertical height up. Look into screen of green (scrog) growing. If you only want to grow a couple plants at a time in a small cab, train them low. Personally I'd stay away from auto, take a normal photo strain. Veg it until you get half the screen covered or a little more, then switch it to flower

Dride, here ya go....I am looking at pulling the trigger on this sometime this week I think....Personally I am going to try and move that center divider over a little so I would have one side for veggin' and a lager side for flowering. Electric stuff and the fan will be on top....
- I'll be using cfl's for both vegging and flowering

The old days when HD carried the Mills Pride line of prefab wardrobe cabinents wuth a full 24" depth.
I had the C13 which was 24" deep x 30" wide x 6' tall.
They also had the C24 which was 2' deep x 4' long by 6' high with a divider shelf.You could easily modify it so that you had a 3' x 2' x 6' area for flowering on one side,and have a 1' x 2' x 6' area for moms and clones and young vegging clones.All you had to do was add a few shelves,make the bottom section for moms 1' x 2' x 2' to 3' tall then a shelf for your rooting clones 1' x 2' x 1' another shelf for vegging rooted clones 1' x 2' x 2' tall.
Now a days,I'd say you're better off buying a tent,or building your own cab.I like tents for ease and quickness of setting up and tearing down.
Cabs are really no more stealth than a tent other than the visual aspect.Cabs are no quieter running (unless you insulate the cab and that only knocks a few decibels off the loudness of fans,but you have to remember about the ducting exiting to the attic/window for exhaust...you're going to hear it.Anyone in that room will hear it.
