You basically take off the drawer faces, stick them together and install hinges and voila.

Not a big issue man, 66F so far with one 30Watter, and without any venting ^^ (I keep my window open for cool air to come in, it's winter here), I'm gona mount 105 Watts of CFLs very soon and get the needed ventilation, I don't think it's gona get any higher than 80F, plus that's diamond diffusion Mylar there, to prevent any heat spots forming

For the pegs, I drilled holes with a drill bit, and then applied carpenter's glue.

Hmmm, didn't notice from the pic you were talking about a metal cabinet.....no idea how to do it on those unless you weld them together honestly, or dill them and use bolts, but that's way too industrial for my taste

Voila, is french for "and here you go!"

For a 450 hps....you definitely will need a cooltube...and even with a cooltube it might not be enough.
