Crazy bubbleponic PC Grow Mayhem

I know the original idea of a pc grow is stealth. But I figured if i keep it in a closet i think id be okay.
I'm powering everything from a 300Watt PSU
The HPS will be 150watt
I'm going to rest the HPS ontop of the pc case
I'm going to rest the pc case on the water resivour
The plants will have more room to grow because they're placed lower than the case
If they out grow the pc case I was thinking of mounting/raising the HPS

Questions:
1. Will it be too hot? Should I add an extra fan? Itll be in a closet all day.
2. Will the HPS rest on the pc case okay?
3. Will these dimensions be okay? I havent taken measurements its all from my head.
4. Is this doable?
5. Do you like my paint skills?

Also i was thinking of skipping vegging and putting them in 12/12 because they only have about 2 feet to grow. Is not vegging an okay idea?

If stealth is not an issue, why not just build a grow box out of wood or something...Build something with a little more space for your ladies. Make the most out of your light.

Yes thats a good point! But I already have a computer case in hand that im not going to be using for a pc so i figured I should just use that. But Ill consider making a real grow box. But at any rate I'm just wondering if this will work at all.

It's a plausible idea...not the most conventional though. HPS lights usually need to be at least a foot away from the tops of your plants, or you could risk burning them, especially with an open reflector, and a PC case doesn't really have much space height-wise.

How about using the PC case as a veg box with a few cfl's?

Definitely it's not enough space to be efficient. I will then make it a veg box how much CFL is good 60ish W? Thank for the input brotha.

I have the system you talking about sur.
But i use 70w hps + 2×58w led
And it's a recirculating aeroponic system.
I named it sumpgrow because every thing is in the sump(where the roots hang )
Spongle filter , vovotrade filter , aeroponic Brass nozzle, 80 pics bioball. . these are circulating the sump by diagramph pump (100psi).
Plus owned a nebulizer for foliar feeding and switched the timer to early morning about 8 minutes on.
