Looks good dude, always love the MS paint sketchups!
Anyway, I was thinking that you're gonna have a lot easier time keeping temps/odor under control if you split your ventilation into two separate systems.
Try and build the lights in an enclosure, sealed off from the rest of your cab by something like plexiglass. That way you can exhaust the hot air straight out with a relatively unrestricted pc/axial fan. The rest of the flower cab should be vented with a fan strong enough to provide a decent air exchange rate while pulling through a scrubber.
If you try and run the whole thing through one fan, the results won't be as good and you'll end up having to use an inline fan which is going to kill your stealth aspect.
Unless you consider the sound of a vacuum cleaner running 24/7 to be inconspicuous.
I would refer to redgreenry's fantastic thread 'Ventilation 101', which I posted a link to a page or two back.
Good luck man!
Can't wait to see you get started.

Hey Romy, nice set up. Love the fact that even though you grow wilh hps you still use the CFL's. CFL"s are the SHIT! What strains are you growin in there? Lookin healthy!
I'm glad Redgreenery's back. He is the one who inspired me to do my rubbermaid grow. I remember seeing his R2D2 thread and I was like "man, if this guy can do this then I certainly can too". He's got lots of great info on his ventilation 101 thread. A must for any dedicated grower.
Today one of my Tundra (Autoflower) got some pre-flowers on her. The other 4 have yet to do the same. They are on week 6 and still no sign from the rest. My experience with most Autoflowering strains is that they will flower anywhere between 4 and 5 weeks, but so far mine is the only one that I have seen go 6 weeks. PUFF PUFF!!

lol, max0r you must be reading my mind..are you puffin bc kush too? 
i was just working on new ideas
i have a captains bed(drawers under the bed) it consits of 2 seperate sets of drawers,which leaves aabout a 12 inch wide,and 8 inch high channel running under my boxspring,so i decided thats where i should vent,using the bed to muffle sound,and to have my scrubber in there,so i decided change my headboard plan a bit,my headboard will now be flower only,i just finished a grow with a friend,and the plants are under lights hoping to re-veg(give me some green mojo reveg love please!!!!) i will make a small cab for mums and clones,or just clone at my friends and transport them here while tiny

thanks aloy romy,but think i will have to stick to the 42 watters,i already have this
http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=productDetail&productId=24584-43501-FV05-008&lpage=none and this
http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=productDetail&productId=122251-43501-FV08-038&lpage=none
they are only rated to 60 watts per bulb,but 36 inches and 18 inches for those vanities might leave me enough room to wire in a light cleat for a 68 thanks again for the info

YOU WOULD HAVE NO TROUBLE WITH THE BIG BULB IN THAT FIXTURE AS LONG AS ITS NOT STRESSING THE SOCKET FRON THE WEIGHT. IVE SEEN BIGGER ONES THAN THOSE IN VANITY STRIPS WITH NO WARM WIRES OR ANYTHING THEY JUST SUPPORT THE HEAVY END WITH A TWIST OF BAILING WIRE TO TAKE THE WEIGHT OFF THE SOCKET YOU MIGHT NEED TO REMOVE THE TRIM RINGS FOR A BETTER FIT TOO..

How close do you guys like to keep your plants from your 42 watt CFL's? Small clones are 6 days into flower, in a small cabinet. There are 3 42 watt, 4 23watt and 1 65 watt. What do you think would be optimal height? Temps are perfect.
get the cfl as close to the plants as you can before they start showing signs of burn(yellowing).get a thermomiter, put it at the same distance as the plants are to the cfls an just make sure its not over 80-84. ive had cfls touching without problems
I can literally keep the 27 watters an inch away from the leaves without the girlz showing any signs of heat stress. Remember, the farther they are away from the light source the more strectch they will get, and in a small place added inches to a plants height is non-negotiable. PUFF PUFF!!!
