I looked into a small cabinet at wally world. 55 bucks. probly 16x24x59 inches tall two doors, with shelves. easy enough to not put the shelves in there. paint it a bright white. toss in some floros, couple of exhaust fans, call it good. with the proper care to sealing the light leaks around the doors, should be inconspicuous enough.

wally world. is that wal mart :D hehee. i didnt even think to check there. ive been using craigslist to find dresser/cabinet and pc tower. i even went to goodwill. A dresser is pretty sweet to. I guess which ever falls in my hands quicker lol! thx for response. its always nice!

EDIT: ............ i feel like an idiot. i check like 30 stores and all low budget websites. and never thought that walmart would have what i needed lol. and sure enough they got what i need. thx !

go to any computer store. You'll be able to pick up a server tower for like $150. I used to have one from the military that was like 4 feet high.

If you have the room head to an appliance center & pick up an old dead fridge or stand-up freezer.
Looks totally innocent in the garage & nobody thinks twice about it humming.

yes, wally world lol didnt even think, thats just what we call it.
So yeah if your lookin for cheap, and you know it is.

the big screen tv, or fridge would be awesome to if you have the space. I have a 65", but the damn thing still works to good to rip up yet.

going to target makes me to nervous, i feel like im in the crosshairs and should be shooting back.

EDIT: i have more questions people!!
1) whats a gd price for 120mm fan? the computer store at my town wants $20 a fan! sounds nuts.
2) What is a average/good price for a power supply box ? they want $40 at the store around my home
3)CAN u power lights from the supply box? or does the supply box need a plug and also the lights (extension cable thing) need a power sourcE? can u wire them into the supply box only?

When I was using a PC to grow I had the same problems aswell. The thing you are doung wrong is you are looking for a "PC" when you should be looking for a full server tower. I know tigerdirect.ca has lots of cheap server towers, especially since its close to x-mas.

The average cost for that a 120mm fan is about 7.99. i dont know the average price for a power supply, def can get it cheaper the $40. Yes you can power lights from the power supply but its a hastle doing all that wiring, my buddie has his like that. My old one looked exactly like a pc just had the light cord comming from the back not the p/s cord.
I hope you complete your project, PC grows are pretty fun.
