A few questions about a grow Help appreciated

Okay, so I am attempting to build a computer case to grow in. The case I got is about 16x7x24. Here's what I have so far

As you can see I have gutted it and begun to light proof it with some foil tape, but I have some questions. At first I thought to use CFLs to grow, but I already bought a pyrex bake a round and I'm not sure there is much point in using that if I'm just using cfls. Does it make sense to build a cool tube for CFLs? Also, I'm under the impression that if I want to use 2 lights I would have to buy an extra 2 for the flowering stage because they would be the right color temp, is this also true? I also thought about getting a 70 watt HPS to use with the cool tube, would I need more than one for different stages? The last thing is about reflection. I'm wondering whether it makes sense to put reflective surfaces on all of the sides of the case. thanks in advance for any help in answering these questions.
