I almost finished my NGB style box and I have pics:
Inside:

utility room:

It's cooled with 1 92mm PC fan that's inside the hood, and 2 120mm fans inside elecrtic box. Veg room is cooled with one 60 mm exhaust fan connected to the utility room.
I still have to check the temps out, but so far the only problem I have is the fan noise.
Don't get me wrong, there's no buzzing or anything but the sound of air blowing out of the box is pretty strong and I think it's partly because it echoes in the utility room. I have to think of something if I'm going to keep it in my room.
Any comments are wellcome.

Nice vlad. I cannot wait until the day I too have a NGB style box. Good luck. It looks like you did your homework and it is about to pay off. Keep us all posted on how things grow, I mean go, haha.

Well crafted box there! I too one day hope to have something setup up for such a perpetual cycle.

If you really think that its sound echoing around inside the util box try putting some padding on the walls, you know, like they do in sound recording booths.

Thanks, Duck, I was thinking about styrofoam padding, or used mouse pads maybe.

looking good so far but still think you will need a bigger fan and may be some more instake holes in the flowing room but so far its looking good and where did nyou find the timer at and does it do 2 lights at once? and is your light a 150 hps or is it bigger?

VladTheInhaler · 11-02-2006, 12:01 AM

High, Steve. It's a 150 HPS. In my original plan I actually wanted to make 6 intakes in the flower room, but got lazy once I made 4. So far I get temps between 26 and 32 Celsius (4 to 10 degrees above room temperature), depending on where I leve the thermometer (it's a digatal black colored plastic thermometer so it's not reliable when in direct light)
Timer can actually do 3 elements at once, got it in Chipoteka which is something like your Radio Shack, I guess.

Congrats on the awesome setup! I don't have much advice about noise reduction at the moment, but your setup still looks awesome none the less!
Can't wait to see whatcha grow in there!

Looks good, Vlad! I'd agree with more intakes. Ideally you want about double the intake area as the output. I got mine up on legs, then vent out of the bottom, like this:

I throw a light baffle (small platform on little legs) on top.

You've got just that one little intake I see in the pic?

No, there are 4 intakes in the flower room and one in the veg, as they are vented separately. you just can't see all of the vents because of the other shit that's in the box in that pic.
