I'm trying to figure out what size intake and exhaust fan to add to my 5x3x7 closet. Also would a simple bathroom ceiling fan be sufficient or not. Yes of course I'm trying to save cash, but I'm pretty handy. I have 1000w hps, haven't decided if i should scrog or not hoping for alot of little plants

No a regular bathroom fan will not work well enough, it is not strong enough to get rid of all the heat that the 1000 watt will put out
Look into this fan or maybe two of them: http://www.plantlightinghydroponics.com/valueline-inch-435-cfm-centrifugal-inline-fan-p-2260.html

Appreciate it. I suppose there is little chance of finding a similar one at home depot.

How much drain on the power do yo think that 1000w will do. Compared to say a refrigerator or or something like that

Lol are you serious? It will draw 1000 watts... DUH!!
A refrigerator uses about 150 watts, a window air conditioner like 600 watts

about 25.00- 55.00 a month for the 1000w.
