For that same money you could get this instead:
http://www.htgsupply.com/viewproduct.asp?productID=47929

Or yes, shop ebay and craigslist in your area and check out the deals...

That light in that space should have a cooltube though to keep the heat anywhere near controllable.

That means something like this, or a DIY version of this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/400w-HPS-COOL-TUBE-GROW-LIGHT-400-watt-Sodium-Cooltube_W0QQitemZ180127387721QQcmdZViewItemQQptZHydroponics_Seed_Starting?_trksid=p3286.m20.l1116

That space could be handled by a 250w also, if you can't afford a cooltubed light or don't want to make one, but you'd still need a remote ballasted light and great ventilation.

get something with a detatchable ballast. also, a 250watt would be fine and a little less heat for a 2x2. if you go any larger though go with the 400watter
