I bought a 250w kit very similar. The bulbs were meh at best. I ended up buying a GE Lucalox HPS to replace the HPS that came in the kit. I don't use MH since I just run a 12/12 from seed perpetual grow.Found this 400w hps/mh on ebay w/ cooltube. Pretty attractive price. A bit concerned that the bulbs aren't going to be good quality though. Anyone get something like this with good results?

get on ebay and look at grow tents sure you can find one to fit your needs.just remember get bigger than you think you'll need because believe me you will always need more room ,light,ventalation etc it never ends .Could anyone in the uk recommend a cabinet or pc case at a decent price for a begginer, for a full start to finish grow? Cheers in advance.
found this guy on amazon too. Looks like a good deal. again, concerned with quality. Especially since this one doesn't have any reviews. Thoughts?

You can get that same light on ebay for almost a hundred dollars cheaper,and it comes with 2 bulbs ,I know because i got one .been running for a year non-stop without an issue i recommend them just not at that price.I would go with this 400w system. Very nice, I don't think you can get quality with it being any cheaper.

Turns out once you select the 8" and the mount the price goes up. 99$ for 8" with mount A and 104.49$ with mount B.
These are the 2 cheapest I have found on Ebaywhy would you need a mount? damn thats bullshit.... i guess ill keep looking they did have an option for none the other day....
It's not a bad deal but I have seen a lot of cheap digital ballast break fairly quickly so keep that in mind if you buy it and every once in awhile check to see if the ballasts are running hotter than normal and if so replace.http://www.ebay.com/itm/Virtual-Sun-1000W-Grow-Light-Hood-Digital-Ballast-System-1000-Watt-HPS-MH-Kit-/200826279563?forcev4exp=true&forceRpt=true
