PC Growing

Hi, i wan't to start growing inside my PC (NZXT Phantom) http://benchmarkreviews.com/images/reviews/cases/CS-NT-PHANTOM-B/nzxt_phantom_intro.jpg
And i don't know much about growing, but im trying to educate myself, i know how to build a PC Growing Case, but i have some questions about Fans, Lightning and such.

- How many fans do i need ? Does it matter ? Or the more the better ?
- Where can i find proper light for my plants ?
- Is White Widow possible to grow inside a PC Case ?
- How often do i need to water my plants ?
- Where/How can i get Declorised Water ?

-you need 1 exhaust fan to replace air 3x/minute, look at the CFM
-HPS is best but for a tiny PC depends on the space, you can find them in lighting or hydro shops
-white wido is possible in small areas but how big is your case? LxWxH??
-depends on medium, humidity, temps, and phase of growing
-water has no color?!?!?!

I think he means water without chlorine and honestly I am not sure myself, isn't it just distilled water that can be bought at almost any store? But I know how to get rid of it in tap water. You can either just boil it or you can distill it yourself by putting water in a pot on the heat and using condensation collecting the water that had evaporated. There different ways I've seen people do it but its pretty easy looking.

or bubble tap water with an air stone for 24 hours. Much easier. You need to know what trace minerals are in your water though. Mine has some cal/mag which the plant likes.

but back up a bit here. I would suggest doing a bigger cab....Not huge but at least 2.5 to 3ft tall x 1 ft x 1 ft. You can put a bunch of cfls up top or better yet a 70 or 150 watt hps. You have to be good at controlling all the parameters when growing indoors. Doing that in a pc is putting those skills to the test. as a new grower, if you want any sort of result, go with the slightingly bigger.

Of the things to consider:
Light - They get hot, but you need strength in light to produce good bud. Higher power lights travel farther and don't need to be as close to the plants.
Ventilation - Both for the light as well as to the plants. Needed for temp controlling and fresh air
temp & Humidty

These three things are all related, so changing one, will effect the other...I.E. More light, may need more ventilation

So learning the room is just as hard as learnign how to plant

Then your going to need to learn how to train the plant too. All that stuff figured out then try the pc.

Wake and Bake :)
