i use these in my computer case:

They are not that loud, but push 110cfm. Should work pretty good. You can always stack them to.

You could also look at Scythe Ultra Kazes, they have plenty of pressure and airflow.

That makes no sense. Two 100cfm fans in series spinning in the same direction can only push 100cfm of air. The only positive thing two exhaust fans stacked could achieve is the first one might take enough of the static pressure to allow the second one to operate more efficiently. Two 100cfm fans next to each other pulling through a filter that is twice as large, however...
Very happy to be proven wrong

I am wondering why not use natural ventilation?

Can someone tell me? I just think adding a fan or fans would be energy consuming and nature is good.

I built this stealth tub setup according to Blue_Adept's plans and it worked quite well. PC fans provided active cooling for the CFL hood and passive ventilation for cooling and odor control. You can easily adapt something similar to your cab.

I would highly recommend you look at Off the Shelf LED bulbs versus the CFLs. You will be getting more usable light and have less heat to deal with.

Noctua fans are great. Look into them.

You dont want intake fans. Intakes should be passive to create positive pressure. This ensures the flow of air goes one way through your carbon filter.

What are your cabinet dimensions and your ambient temperatures?
