From the 2 you've posted the dual spectrum one will work best, the blue one will only really be good for vegetative growth. If you can, get 2x 125w ones, I did a grow with 2 and yielded just over 3oz from 1 photoperiod plant, and could have gotten a lot more if I vegged longer.

As for your box, I'd build it out of plywood, that way you can get it to the perfect size for your grow! The best piece of advice is build the box around the lights your getting, it's all about optimization with stealth micro grows :) I'd make the box about Width x 3ft, Height x 3ft, Depth x 1ft.

Last thing, how to wire your fans, a lot of people plug them up into PC power boxes so they can run as many fans as they like. If your just using 1 or 2 I just wire them into a 9-12v phone charger. All you do is strip the wires and twist the black wire to the black wire and the white wire to the white wire (or red to black I think if you only have red) wrap the join in some insulation tape and your done :) I like to use a little connecter block, just gives an extra bit of security in case it gets tugged too hard etc.

Stay Frosty!

lol you could use 10 and still not even be the tiniest blip on anything :)

A good guideline to go up to is 4000w per bedroom of your house without any suspicion, just think, TV, Xbox, PS3, Stereo, Lights, PC etc. (per room)... adds up to the equivalent 1 huuuge grow room XD you could more than likely even go over 4000w per bedroom and still be more than fine, we live in the age of technology, so your not likely to get busted over energy consumption.
