Well I have been thinking about building a small stealth setup, but I recently stumbled upon this and it caught my eye.
http://www.buy-the-homebox.com/shop/...omebox_xs.html

I was thinking it could go fairly unnoticed in the corner of a closet, or if need be it could even be put in a custom built cabinet with a small lock that would also be discreet in my opinion.

Next is filtration. I am thinking on using this

For lights I am torn between a 250w hps or 200w cfl. I am torn between the two because the hps is cheaper, but the cfl would probably be much cooler.

I am debating on using these two fans
http://www.homeharvest.com/climateco...xhaustfans.htm. Either the 95cfm or 180cfm
http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/...ctId=100396559
I would really like to use the home depot special or the 95cfm model as they are the cheapest, but I am unsure exactly how much ventilation I will actually need.

As far as I can tell that should be all of the supplies I need to get started. I am trying to do this on a limited budget, if price was not object things would be different. My main concerns are ventilation and heat. Another large concern in the back of my mind would be the hps getting too hot and starting a fire, but Im not sure how much of a concern this should be as long as the ventilation is enough. I would be growing 4 plants probably in a sog setup. Thanks in advance
