in the garage would make me a little nervous... why idk... maybe cause it's right next to my neighbors house, and there's a thin layer of pine boards for the walls ...

Even though your whole setup is CLEAN. You can do what I did and build a box for your fans. Check the Grow room Design forum and look at my thread.
I say clean because my box is pretty ghetto, but you get the idea and im sure you can make something out of wood that's better. But it works awesome for my little closet.

Ok I've got a question... Might as well include it in my thread... as i'm looking for lighting and ventilation equipment i'm also looking for a few strains to grow... just curious on autoflowering strains... say like lowryder and lowryder #2 ... if they are autoflowering... how the hell do you generate more seeds ? grow a batch of lowryder and turn a few hermie ? I mean paying 50$ for only 10 seeds every time is kinda shitty....

and also...
since i'm only using a 250 mh in my veg chamber... at my local home depot they have 6" inline fans I think the stats are 265 cfs .. i'm planning on using one fan for exaust to cool off the hole chamber and light , with a few ventilation holes for forced air.. I have one that I use for my heater in the garage and it works great... think maybe I'll be able to get a way with just using the 6" inline fan 265 cfs to keep temps in range in the veg chamber ?

ok this is what I'm thinking of going with ...
a 600 watt hps air cooled from htg supply,
a 250 watt mh from htg supply
2 6" 265 cfm inline fans one for exaust in my veg chamber and 1 to cool off the 600 watt hps...
and a 6" vortex blower to exaust the flowering chamber ....

those inline booster fans from home depot are crap. they dont move much air. maybe in a small area might work ok. great looking cab. i still cant stop laughing bout that little ass tv in that huge cabinet, i wa thinking from the start of your build it was going to be a small tv. then you posted a pic and it looks like a 10" tv. ill give you pluss rep if you can tell me how to do it, since they changed the forum i cant find the little scales. great thread.

dusty, few things...
1. I too plan on growing autoflowers. Joint Doctor and Lowlife are two great lowlife breeders to look at with multiple lowryder strains. check out www.drchronic.com or www.dope-seeds.com for good selection.
2. If you want to get your own seeds, your gonna have to keep a male and isolate it with a female and let them do their thing
3. Those duct boosters are really cheap and dont move any air so i wouldn't bother.
4. An inline fan JUST for exhaust might be a little over kill. You can just use one for your carbon filter and air-cooled hood. You just need a passive intake so there is a good negative pressure buildup. (I.E. a 6" vent on the bottom of the door. Though if you go this route, look at getting an 8" fan or a 10" fan for assurance. You can always buy duct reducers to work with your hood.
5. For vegging I urge you to go with a nice florescent fixture. Your veg area is 2' 6" so if you were to buy a 2ft 4bulb fixture you can get alot of cover area and you can also get them real close to the plants. They produce VERY little heat, where as all you would need would be a PC fan or just a small 6" oscillating fan to blow on the canopy. HTGSupply has them and most other hydro stores. Take a look, very cheap and effective. I plan on building a small vegging/cloen box with one of these fixtures!
6. HTGSupply is great, awesome prices and great customer service. Let us all know how and what ya decide to order.
