Brook, I think if you spend some time looking at stealth boxes you will get some great ideas.
My spouse came home and 4 lamps were missing, the box was a garbage can house so when you popped the lid you could throw junk into the pale inside it. I grabbed foil tape to line the inside and too 2 computer fans and wired them into AC adapters. If you pull apart an old computer you will find some that run on usually 12V. Google a diagram for wiring them. Everything you new is probably floating around your house EXCEPT for the lighting but clearly wyteberrywidow has you more than covered there!
