i got a 120mm computer fan and blow out 80 cfm would that do the trick or better using a household fan or what kind of fan?

here go to this website and look at air odor control/quality www.htgsupply.com I picked up the 4" combo and now wish I would've gotten the 6" combo. The 4" still works GREAT but I need a little bit more powered fan to efficently cool my light hood and my room at the same time.
 

Where in the hell am I?

Yes, they can be quiet, youcan also insulate the area surrounding the fan to reduce noise. Also, using a 6" fan & reducing down to 4" for the filter will give you the power you want, but a smaller filter

True. I have a 6" air coolable hood and 4" filter and fan so I just picked up two extensions and hooked it up. I'll snap some pics in a minute to show you.

I use a 4" vortec in a slightly bigger room without a problem. 4x4x8 w/2xT5 floros. They are only as loud as a bathroom vent fan. hope this helps.

a 5" filter????? You might have some trouble finding stuff to hook that up with or you could get 6" stuff and just have to tighten it down real tight. I used those rings with the screws at the top you can tighten and what not. Works real good to make it all airtight.
