I seen alot of people use 23 Watt cfls for PC cases, my current grow I've started them in my own PC that I've built, but since I was given an old sink cabinet, I decided to build and transfer my girls into there. As far as my fans I used the old PC power supply that converts AC to DC. But since I have the other cannery I ordered some 110 volt rectifier fans which are very small,put out good fan speed, run at low amps http://db.tt/kEaGEGD8 mps. Check out my grow good luck with your grow

Don't use a power supply. Newegg has adapters. Anything that goes ac to dc will work just make sure its 12v. Coolerguys.com has a six fan hub that will take the four molex adapter I mentioned a sec ago.

Sadly I'm not an expert on that... would you be able to get me a link? I'm not exactly sure what you mean... I realize I'm kinda a newbie, although I've been reading up how to do this for a while

anything with those big bulky plugs will work, try to stay around 12v, all you have to do is cut the end off, strip the wires and your're in business, and you think odor isn't a problem until your parents come in and say "whats that smell" Its highly disrespectful to grow in someones house without their knowledge, especially when you live there free, but if you have to cover your tracks so you don't disappoint your parents, get some ona gel, shit smells like a urinal cake but around flower you can set a bottle cap full in there and smell will not be an issue.

I understand that, it's wrong... the issue is I'd only be concerned about them finding out... they'd be shocked by it and dissapointed... I'm a straight A student, and I don't know how they'd react, and I'd rather not know... I do feel kinda bad about it...

Here is the adaptor

I can't find the hub right now(at work)
But for a pc case one fan has the ability to cool it as long as you have a good enough fan. Two obviously is better though.

So if I'm understanding this right, that would allow me to power the cases fans? If so that's perfect for me :D
