Now you tell me! I paid less than fifty bucks with shipping for one with two 80mm fans, one 120mm fan, a psu ( i only need the backplate so paying for one seemed silly) and a temp monitor. Not a bad deal at all!
I plan on making this growcase very specialized. I like building shit so should be a fun endeavor.
You wired the front mounted buttons? Did you use an actual psu? Four fans?! You have some good fucking airflow! I was going to use three. Two output and one intake.
Those fans are loud.... If you mount another one on the other side panel im sure you'd have mad suction power.. i found some nice ones that i can later put into my next box.. the laptop fans for 3 dollars..
They throw those psu's away at electronic recycling centers.. find one in ur local area.. yes i did use atx one to power the accessories, with a quick google diagram & color code help i was able to link a few wires and power on power of. the lighting was powered to the psu after i spliced a few wires inside the box enabling the main power cable to give off volts required to maximize lighting without the getto do it urself look that we've all seen. neatness is the "key"
Hey, do u live by a home depot? they sell a power supply thats small and compact called " transformer" check it out its nice and small should be enough for ur fan and lights since cfl's font require much.
B F'n careful .. lil zap should put hair on ur chest..
i also got a few of the homies to hook it up with items from work (manufacture new technology fridges that no longer require something i forget. ). so i requested a tiny bit of stuff like white fridge insulator that could help with the temp and reflect lighting, since we are entering winter. few electrical wire protective sleeves to help with tidying things up for secure connection and shortage's. Switches that will be spliced and mounted to extra buttons on pc face that will control fan speed, enabling more or less vacuum, better humidity control. wire splicers, for options like , l.e.d's mini hydro or micro hydro pumps. slim tubings that will fit into the face so i could build a real micro hydroponic system with it flowing to two plants. also fridge grill like trays with magnetic mounts to move up and down in the box, catering to my plants needs as it grows and cures in her new home...
I'm gonna take apart the backing with the optional drivers ( the stenciled aluminum that light can show through) so they could water jet an exact piece so i could block lighting, and a cut out of the bottom pc so i can mount the tubings under for hydro without sacraficing the looks and stealth..
so far 2nd box cost total 30 bucks....
" If anybody finds temp gauge lcd for gaming towers let me know please that would be SICK" think its called thermoltake
I'll post detailed pix. model numbers, cheap supply link later...
