good job. if you got your hands on a server tower then you'd have a even better PC setup for it.

That would be awsome. I'm curious as to how a 35w HPS would do hahah.Yeah this thing is pretty big (read old) so it should work out well for me. And I found a 100w HPS security light for $20 on clist, if I get that and can manage the temps with it I may stick that in the case instead of messing w/ CFLs in there.
Well a 35w could do a decent job because you can get it uber close to the tops of the plants even more so if a cool tube is used.I'm not sure a 35w would be enough for decent flowering on its own, either 2 of them or a 70w might do though. Going with the 100w bc of the price, at only 20 bucks I'll take a gamble on it and if it doesn't work out then I have an extra light to mess around with.
well a 35w bulb is around the same size as a 70w but a cool tube would be used. There might be a 4 inch cool tube so that could be also used.The problem you'd run into trying to use such a small bulb is that putting a piece of glass in between can block as much as 10% of the light emitted from the bulb. With the output so low already that'd really reduce the useable footprint. I could see using two in there with a sheet of glass just below them to block the heat but I'm more comfortable trying to cool a single bulb and ballast in that space.
So far it looks like I'll need one more PCI slot cover, two disc drive covers, a 3.5" drive cover, and need to disassemble the inside a bit more. Once all that's done I should end up with about 20x9.5x16 of useable space.

^^ That an old Dell PowerEdge server i see? Dual Pentium III Perhaps?![]()
anything new? been a week!![]()
Yeah how's the new computer box coming along?
Ofcorse were following! U ever get that letter?
Not antsy exactly! But concerned! Hahahaha i just want things lost in transition! Well im relieved it made it back!!! Lmao
congrats on a quality LED panel. the 150/90 is start up surge and normal running wattages. I don't quite understand the math. 15 x 6 = 90. LED's can run at 100% power or they will burn out in seconds. most run about 54% or something like that. and cree runs 3w diode chip sets so how is 6W four times brighter than 3W?!?!?!
not sure on all that, but i am sure it is a quality light and you will love the results!
