So the other day, I picked up these stacking drawers for 12.99 because I figured I could use the area more efficiently using stacking drawers. Pretty sure I was right!
This, my friends, is a self contained drawer with filtered air intake AND exhaust powered by 12v computer fans.
What you will need:
Stacking Drawers
1x Computer Power Supply
2x 12v Computer fans PER drawer
1/8th inch bolts w/ nuts
Tyvek
An Electric Drill
3/4" Hole Maker thingy for drill
1/8" drill bit
1/16" drill bit
Extra Wiring (I bought 25' and was left over with a good bit)
Electrical Tape
Optional (these make for an easier time with cords in the end):
LP4 Splitter
TX3/LP4 Adapter
3 Drawers, stacked
Wiring, drill, bits, bolts/nuts
Originally I was going to use an LP4 wall outlet adapter, problem was, the thing didn't fucking work. Pictured is; 2x LP4/PX3 Adapters, LP4 Adapter and wiring
In each drawer, I drilled 4 air vent holes and two holes for bolts (catty corner securing the fans)
Putting tyvek in between the fans and drawers
(front)
(rear)
This is a blurry shot of the inside of the drawers
I made 8x 2 ft extensions for the LP4 Splitter, This made each side of the splitter 2.5 feet in length. If you have a soldering iron, you might want to use it THEN tape it together. I lost my iron =(.
Here is the finished LP4 splitter.
This is my power supply I'm using, taking a small piece of wire, stripping about 1/8" of wiring and connecting the GREEN and a BLACK wire will keep the power supply on constantly.
And finally, I drilled small 1/16" holes right along the top of the drawer and used needle and thread to secure the tyvek to the top. This drawer is now a slatted bulk grow tub! Once the drawer fully colonizes, I'll remove the frontal section of thread, remove the slats, re thread and start the fans!
