Quick question about a potential case - 1st grow

Hi all,

Just joined the forum and have spent the last few hours planning my first growbox as I now actually have the money to buy the bits! Anyway, most of the questions I had I've found answers too in other posts but I was just looking for a little bit of specific advice about a potential case. Obviously I want as big as I can get for as cheap as I can get, with easily removable innards. So, I'm thinking of this one but, I'm a bit concerned about the location of the ventilation for the fans. Would I probably need to cover one of them and make a new hole elsewhere? Just not totally sure. Or possibly, this one? If anyone has any recommendations for a case, that'd be superb too.

Cheers.

What's with that? Is there a list of cases I'm missing or something? Is growing in a PC box laughed at/frowned upon? What am I missing?

i never heard of anyone actually buying the case - they just strip out a junked tower. if you're going to buy something anyway, spend the same money on a used clothes dresser and hollow that out - you'll thank yourself for all the extra space = bigger plants = more weed.

Yeah, well see I only have 1 pc that I built not long ago. Not really big enough anyway. I know what you're saying about a dresser but I'm really limited with space in my little flat. And from what I've read, the PC method is a bit easier / requires less tools. That right?

not a big difference. you have to be able to saw and glue/screw wood, but nothing beyond that. if you're constrained to a pc you're never going to grow enough for your personal needs unless you take a hit once a week. why go through all the trouble and risk when you're still going to end up buying most of your weed. if you get a mini dresser that's say 2 square feet and 5 foot high you would be able to double or triple the yield of a pc case.
