Pretty simple, the holes in my wood panel are a perfect fit for the sockets I had... I'm pretty sure you could get them at Home Depot. They're like rubber made. Look at this picture:





Well... I'm from Canada, so I bought one on NCIX.COM at like 16$. But I found cheaper ones on DirectCanada.com they are like 12$. It's worth it... I'm planning on buying some more to replace all fans with NOCTUA. Don't get SilenX, they cost more and have less airflow... I think NOCTUA is the best fan around... I've made lots of research about silent fans... if you find a more quiet fan, let me know!
thanks for the help and your grow is looking great + rep

is that chipboard in your case? doesn't that get effected in anyway, because im making a growbox fully out of chipboard and i need some advice on this cheap material. Although it will be painted and coated with mylar... Good choice?

I used 3/4 plywood. what do you mean if it gets effected? you mean if it gets warm? If that is what you meant, I currently have 5 fans in there for airflow... nothing gets hot hehe!

Well, you could paint it white and coeated mylar. I used duct insulating sheets, which you can find at home depot where they sells duct... it's pretty cheap!

yeah i meant if it gets warm or moist would the wood expand or somethin. But it sounds as if fans should do the trick... im thinking about using a cardboard box now because im really low on my budget bit of a step down init haha!

Well yeah i was going to put some white polywrap/ panda film on the inside to keep everything bright and to protect from heat and moist.
But I can't find any of that material in the UK =/...

where did you get those carbon filter sheets from and how much are they?
Hehehe you won't beleive how easy to find and cheap they are...

I bought Charcoal Replacement FIlter for Non-Ducted Kitchen Range Hoods. It wat 8$ at Canadian Tire, you can find some at Home Depot as well.
I tear it open to get only the carbon filter.

Here is a picture of what I bought:
