Lookin good man! 
Your box looks really clean, but I'm wondering if you have any plans to light proof the door and if you have some kind of carbon filter hooked up to the back for odor control?
It's a good lookin cabinet for sure, but you should really try to get that CFL a lot closer to your seedlings... like 1" to 3" away is best.
Anyway, stay safe and keep us updated man!

use the search function for the carbon scrubber, but in short it removes the stink from the air

That should help on your carbon filter quest.

How do you all keep it cool?
I'm running 4 26 watt daylight cfl, in less than 9cubic ft, and it's cooking.... it is totally sealed..

funny you should say that buddy!
if u went to the gallery ule notice i called it "the weed oven"
in fact ive moved those plants into the flowering chamber to veg now until i can install some sort of ventilation.
i recomend you look at socals suggestion for the 25$ radio shack fan. thats my plan when i have the $ anways..

I have an old air-hockey table... I think I'm gonna snag the fan outta the bottom, and try and run that just to move some air out, and create a passive intake....

so it looks to me, and correct me if i'm worng, that you only have an intake with a pc fan blowing in. If I am seein that right, you NEED an exhaust and it should be right near the top of the cab *above* the light. You can switch your fan from the intake hole to your new exhaust hole and just leave the intake hole passive. It will also cut down on noise a little bit if you locate your fan in the upper corner of the back wall rather than the middle. Putting the fan right in the middle causes the back piece to act like a speaker and amplify any fan vibrations, while if you locate the fan in the back corner near the side walls, there will be significantly less of a 'speaker effect' from the back wall.

Hey Pux! Newbie here, following your grow. Looking good for day 14. I like that carbon scrubber too. I was going to go that way my self but ended up going in another direction. I'm just gettin started on my first grow. I'll start a thread when I got something to show. Just put my germed seeds in the dirt today and am working on converting an old yard sale armoire into a stealth cab. I went with this I found a low profile model 80CFM that's only 5 1/2 inches tall and the box looks easy to build and fill with carbon. Found it on a wholesale site for $69.95 and $10 shipping. Supposed to be here wednesday.
Anyway, I like that the clock in your first picture in the thread is set to 4:20! Nobody said anything about that, huh? Attention to detail. Way to go, man! Ha!
I thought you might want to look at this fan for your setup. Click here It's 3.15 inches, pulls 27CFM at full power and is adjustable speed. It also comes with an AC adapter so you don't have to worry about 12 volt adapters and shit and is about the same as that radio shack one with shipping included. Thought that might help.
Later, man!

Hey Pux. Figured I should stop over here and say hi. Your grow is looking good so far. Remember to go easy on those MG nutes. It doesn't take much. As far as your carbon filter needs I think you still have a few more weeks before it will be a problem. I have 7 plants at almost 5 weeks old and there is no noticable smell until you open the closet door. From what I have heard it is not till you start flowering that is gets stinky. Just a thought. Keep up the good work and kieep us posted.
