So i'm planning to make a PC GROW BOX as a side thing to do.
I'm not to sure on what to get, how to assemble everything but then that's where you guys can help me
what i'm planning to get is..

Pc Computer Case - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BLACK-GAMI...#ht_2468wt_924
SPEC : Colour: All black
Case Type: ATX Middle Tower
Gaming case
No PSU, takes standard ATX PSU
Full Dimensions : H = L = W
W/O package: L:395+30 W:185 H:412(mm)
W package: L:420 W:208 H:456(mm)
Thickness of steel: 0.6mm SGCC
5.25” bays: 4
3.5” bays: 2(Exposed)+5(Hidden)
USB2.0/Audio location in the first 3.5”drive bay
No case fan included
Can accommodate the following case fans: 1x80mm or 90mm fans in the front of case. 1x92mm cm 80mm fan in the rear of the case.
Motherboard required: Full ATX / MICRO ATX

Socket adapter - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/250V-UK-Pl...#ht_1998wt_974 ( about 4 OF THESE ON ONE EXTENSION LEAD )

CFL BULBS - Haven't found the right ones yet but if i'm using 4 socket adapters, what do you guys think?

Venting - already have two 120mm fans

Reflective material - White paint or reflective windhsield things from poundland

My plan - one big pot ( width rather than height ) and one small short rider seed, LST IT! and hopefully get 15g+

MY QUESTIONS!

1. I've never opened a computer case open, could i use the screwdriver to open up all the holes?
2 . What tools will i need?
3 . Anything I am missing in this set up?
4 . Will i NEED to COMPLETELY strip the insides? so its like a ' blank space '

I checked out grow box tutorials and how to's and i have the basic idea but i just need the help of the forum really

Only positive input, any hate do not comment.
thanks

Dude looks like you are hopig for someone to hold your hand or run down the street with you to get your first pedals in.

You got it bro. You smoke. Use your intuition.

Strip the insides drill some holes up top get a power strip zip tie it in place get some polarized light sockets from loses of casa de pot

You got your fans just wire em up get some aluminum hvac tape and tape em in placeS buy carbon fish filter inserts from pets mart and your all set lol easy

Cmh. 90 w would do you good. Just gottaget the correct ventilation

Of if you don't 4-5 6500k and 2700k lights and then during flowering you can mix the two spectrums to get as close to 4800k as possible.

I've got an ounce out of a small mini stealth grow. Similar to a pc but its 9"deep x 19"wide x 20" tall

So thatwas with LST and 5 cfl 23 watts a piece but I had enough ventilation
