My Perfect Grow Room: Need Opinions

Hey guys,
I'm new to the site here but I've been following posts for quite awhile. I am somewhat new to growing, as I've been a part of a couple grows but never done one myself. That is about to change, and I'd really appreciate your advice as far as my setup goes.

I'm planning on using some type of grow tent (haven't decided which one yet) that has dimensions of about 4 x 4 x 7 or something close to that. I then plan to have 9 large plants inside (I'm going to start with Big Bud Feminized seeds) and hopefully have a high yield. I'm definitely getting a 1000w hps and am looking for some type of system where I just replace the bulb with a 1000w HID for Veg.

I also plan on using Fox Farm soil and nutrients along with 5-gallon buckets. I will have a couple small fans in the corners along with some type of air filter that is in some way attached to an charcoal exhaust fan (I haven't decided quite how to do this yet).

Any advice on which type of lighting system to get and why? I want to be able to Veg in the grow tent and then flower in the same tent (at least at first). What kind of in/out fan would work best if any? Will a charcoal filter effectively remove all of the odors? Which grow tent is the best? Are there any major holes in my setup? Anything else I really need?

Supplies:

1 grow Tent
10 feminized seeds
10 5-gallon buckets
Fox Farm Soil and Nutrients
1 Fully equipped lighting system (shade, bulb(s), ballasts)
1 Air Filter

...anything else I'm missing? Approximately how much do you think this setup is going to cost me to start? I'm guessing between $1000 and $1500.

Thanks for any input you may have
