PC micro grow. first timer. need help.

  1. hey GC. i am building a PC case grow box and i wanted to share my design plan and i would like any help. i attached pics so you guys can see where im at now and get an idea of what im goin for. i am going to use bagseed and just one plant for now.

    at the bottom right i have two 80mm intake fans. they will each have their own carbon filters. but im very worried because they are very loud... they are connected to a 12 volt adapter. but i might just use a 9volt battery as the source to slow the fan speed and lower the noise.

    top left i am doing the PSU to surge protector thing. that hanging PSU casing will be cut off soon. i used the following guide, but not completed yet:

    the rest of my plans consist of the following:

    insides covered in Mylar
    a single 80mm exhaust fan under the PSU...again, with a carbon filter.
    the surge protector will be mounted either at the top or on the side of one of the doors (but i have no idea how i would mount this)
    to that power strip i will have two 23 or 28 watt CFLs.
    i am also getting a timer for the lights and will do the 12/12 from seedling method along with LST to keep the plant small.

    that covers it..i wouldnt doubt if there is alot wrong with this design. i tried reading as much as i can on here and icmag but there is alot of stuff to soak in.

    right now the two intake fans are connected by using this tutorial:

    i will be making the micro carbon scrubbers from this tutorial:
    micro carbon scrubber - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums
    i hope two will fit side by side attached to the intake fans. but i might just make one filter that is rectangular then a circular one over the single 80mm exhaust

    i dont think i will have trouble covering the case insides with mylar. i guess ill just use duct tape to secure it??

    any help or suggestions would be very helpful and appreciated
