Guerilla Growing Revision 1 - 2mb Pics!

O.K , so I skipped school today , in order to get on with the project... I slept over it , and decided , that the Case had to look more like a pc. This implied some major changes: Fisrt of all I added some fake drives to the front and some fake PCI-Card connectors to the back. Then I decided that the power-supply had to be external , so that it doesn?t get wet. I have also found two better places to fix the fans. One is part of a fake PSU in the Tower, (See below for pictures) the other took me a bit of crafting to do: I made a hole and fitted the fan onto the side of the case. This gives the Grow-box a kind of Overclocking-flair . - Nevertheless I did make a mess of the case , so that Ill spray it totally black later. To capture the humidity in the case I used Acryl to seal any holes. The light in the tower took me quite a while. Eventually I found some brand new halogen 12v Bulbs. They rock! (But see for your self.) I think they are too bright , maybe Ill take on out... Things still to do: - Make covers for fans - Get perlite and test the thing. (My local growshop is getting some in tomorrow) - Will the lights stand the humidity? (insulating-tape started melting!! - Gotta find something else...) Again: Comments and critisism are wanted! Thanks, JazzMatazz P.S: To not flood the post like last time , I will only answer some replies. The rest will all be read and all concerned in the ongoing of the project! So please help. The Case Here you can see the fake PSU. It is just the front of a PSU , and contains the "in-blowing" fan. Not very clean work , but should do the trick!
Light fixed in the case: The Light works! Lensflair:

Well well That`s the first time I`ve seen anyone attempt anything like that. Very inovative. Goodluck with that.

In reply to:
is that an incandescent light in there ? that will probably generate a LOT of heat, especially in an enclosed metal space. If you keep the fans running all day to help with the heat, you will never get the humidity high enough.
Youre probably right. Ill take the strong one out. There are two in there anyway.

What's powering the lights? You should definately take out all but one, then check what the temp is after 12 hours both at the top and and substrate level

some suggestions i can think of that may or may not work: keep a fan on a timer and stick a hepa fileter @ it, and have it blow inwards, have a small hole with a piece of hepa filter or a one way air flow dealio over it,
keep light @ timer also to help with heat, or use that as heat source, maybe use a fishtank heater @ water in corner? and use a small flourescent light fixture, or some 15 bulb strings of blue or white xmas lights[so as to not be a direct heat source], its almsot the season for all that crap
hope this helps!

Update: So , the case is finished. I have put in a 15 watt Light Bulb. Its getting 5 Volt and seems to be happy with it: It is comparably dim, compared to the halogen light-bulb before , but should do the trick without creating too much heat. I fixed the Light and the Fans onto two different Powercables. This allows me to disconnect the fans (or connect) whenever I want to, without having to turn of the light. I sealed the interior Powerconnectors of the bulb with silicon, hoping that this will prevent any short circuiting. Well , that should be it. I checked the Temperature with an "old-shool" Thermostat. It showed fifteen degrees celcius (59 Fahrenheit), this seems to be wrong , as Im sitting here in boxer-shorts (in case you?re interested) and am feeling very warm. I?ll check it with a digital thermostat tomorrow. Other than that , I am still waiting for my rye-grain to be delivered. Should come sometime now... When it arrives Ill start inocculating as soon I have a few spare hours , without my parents... Perlite wasn?t in today (Growshop) ,and I was told to popp back in on Saturday. When I?ve bought it ,I?ll test if everything works humidity-wise.

Light bulbs, fans, eletric, and high levels of humidity do not mix. Nothing against what you are doing. Just thought i'd bring it up. I remember someone doing this a while ago, and someone brough up this same problem.
