thank you very,, very much

fucking LOVING the air filter, i+m SO making it!!!

♥

Nice set up.

1 question, what is the long part of the air filter made from (the 5cm long part)?

[pelmeni]

Great stuff!

Please, could you help to find the emergency system that you used. Is it on amazon or ebay?

Do you think it makes sense to make a height-adjustable lights in such a small growbox?

[early_bird]

Great work, excellent tutorial, well done

[mcsamuels]

good stuff, and great pics!

One of the best pc grow boxes I've seen. Going to build a clone box for next grow in a month and just needed to do some research to confirm that its possible to make decent boxes. My clone box needs less light and less of everything tbh, but if it works with regular grows it should do wonders for a clone box. Just a few inputs and tweaks, as I'm sure you don't need to implement them, but just for the random reader and potential builder.

Most cpu fans can run a carbon filter. The one you got is extremely strong, over twice the static pressure of the Nocturna CPU fans. This enables it to pull trough a small carbon scrubber as yours. A tweak could be making the whole left wall a carbon scrubber. One flat 1/2-1 inch carbon scrubber wall, with maybe 1/2 inch space to the motherboard ports graphic card etc. and 1/2 inch spacing to a flat wall with 1 fan connected on the middle of it pushing air into the first 1/2 inch room, then it will be pushed trough the massive thin carbon filter, then it would seep out all the small fan holes and port holes on the back side. You can then actually just dremmel away the mother board, graphic card etc so only the ports show on the outside. You can also dremmel the whole power supply and rewire it so that you can plug you only power cord from the outside into the actual pc power supply and have it run the fans light and water pump. The carbon scrubber wall will make it light tight so that the holes and fan grills etc just shows a natural dark inside, instead of the usual tape or whatever they use to plug these holes.

Pc fans are designed to push not pull, so should always push, a lot larger grows such a mini fridge etc and also just run pc fans with scrubbers no problem, the trick is to have super oversized carbon scrubbers so that you don't have any resistance. The sealing is rarely used a grow room, and can often be used by just one big carbon scrubber screen. The rise of hot air and direct push without any angles will also optimise the scrubber.

You can also run a extremely shallow DWC in a pc, increasing the head room by quite a bit. If you run PPl 55w or 36w in the roof you can also run a even slimmer light setup, and put the transformers in the gap outside the carbon scrubber making it less heat then your led i would guess.. and a lot cheaper.

Good job on the post, there are just way to many bad pc grows out there, good to se someone getting great results. Probably gonna go over to pc only when i don't got so many friends to feed :P

@TeriYaki
I have the same computer now and try to rebuild that, it´s so genius it´s worth to copy :-)
I´m not sure if i can do some improvments because it look very perfect.

Have you removed the inner frame from the left side of the pc-case ?
I mean the inner side-wall of the left side of the case. On the top there is something like a L-Bracket which steals some space inside. But it seems hard to remove all this piece :(

Hey mate,

I took your case as a blueprint for mine, I got a new Chieftech Mesh B01 Tower already set up with my own carbon filter (improved version) and a 25x3W LED. Mylar as a reflective material, Ultra Kaze 3000 as outtake, some Arctic P9 as intake. Looking to build another PC grow box with "normal" size and cfl, everything automatically controlled (drainage, temperature->touchscreen fan speed controller ).

I have grown in a pc case before, but this seems to be the best one I found on the internet. And believe me, I spent years looking for a model that is small enough to be stealthy and big enough to produce some decent bud.

I am looking forward to present my case in this forum, with pics and costs and shit. And you Sir, will be featured in my thread, that's for sure

Great work, you have been the inspiration for me.

Awesome grow. 200 watts in there is impressive

I can't wait I just bought an led pc grow box... check this video halfway through.

Will you be using arduino controller? Seems like a great ideea, except touchscreen lcd takes a lot of pins.
