    Hey grasscity hope everyone is well.

    Im currently coming up with a cabinet grow box design and have a question about the fans . As will be first grow box

    The cabinet is w60 h60 d29.9cm

    My question is what sort of fans should i use. Should i use just pc fans or get a small intake fan. If you recommend an intake fan for the exhaust what sort of fanshould i use to get air into the cabinet .What would you lot recommend? As getting confused about it.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hey thanks for your quick reply.

    Im planing to use a sugre protected power extension cable to the mains . To power the fans. Been having a look and found this:

    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/110874844090#ht_1917wt_689

    Would that be ideal to use in the space ill have access and just use a couple of 120mm slient pc fans for the intake.

    My next question is a quick one about lights i been doing my research and looking at going cfl route . Im thinking 2x45w cfl is this too few? Also my friend has said use led instead as it better is this true should i go with led? Instead or would a mix off both do best ?

    Thanks again :) happy smokimg peeps.

    Rizzo, those fans are way out of proportion to his space, which he gave in centimeters. He's talking about a micro-grow. Computer fans or something on that order are more what he's looking for.

    XII, if you don't get much feedback here, and I'm not saying you won't, you may want to mosey over to the micro-grow section: Micro Grows - Grasscity.com Forums. Good luck and welcome to Grass City.

    thanks alatar will check it out :) and thank you for the welcome.

    the cabinet in inches is W 27" x H 27" x D 11.8"
    and feet W 2ft"x H 2ft x D 1ft

    if that's any help. I used an online covert if the maths is wrong. Wouldn't a 4" fan fit
    as found this if its helpful. If went down the inline fan road.

    The maths are good and I love the diagrams, but I'm out of my depth. I'm more a duct tape and string kinda guy. There is also a Grow Room Design section, if people more qualified than I don't start piling onto this thread soon.

    Edit: But it bet that fan would shame any computer fan.

    think you've pointed me in right direction thank you many thanks :). I'm more a technology person, for me this is like going back to collage as i learning new things everyday about growing/gardening. I agree think that fan will shame the computer fans.

    Im glad i found that diagram makes trying too work out if it fits easier.

    This is all the diagrams i've found think it may help other grower with inline fan measurements.

    4" Inline fan
    V1 V2
    5" Inline fan
    V1V2
    6" Inline fan
    V1 V2
    8" Inline fan
    V1 V2
    10" Inline fan
    V1 V2
    12" Inline fan
    V1 V2
