first off, that aluminum foil will not help. it'll burn the leafs if anything... take that out and replace it with some mylar or that stuff used for wrapping presents. okay... that space is small but i've seen grows out of pc cases, just start from seed with 12/12. you'll get a low yield... but it works.

true, but better safe then sorry... but the present wrap is more reflective anyway... but yeah. that light probably wont be enough either, and if i were you i would strip all the metal out of the pc box, for more room. just use bolt cutters or something.

yo that looks like a good start but you need to do some work,\\

1. you need more lights, i curently have 3 40w cfl's in a pc case, that should be good,
2. More room: try to cut the metal out or use a different pc case, i happened to be lucky cause the case i found has NOTHING on the inside,
3. More ventilation, get an intake and outtake fan or you WILL have heat troubles.
that fan may be too big and hurt your plants, try using pc fans for exhaust and intake
4. Find the SHORTEST but WIDEST growing container you can fit, meaning, use a low or short container that is wider so you can maximize height and width

i know you want to jump into growing, so did i but in a case like this (no pun intended) you really need to work out stuff ahead of time,

hope i helped

good luck!!!!
