Thrift shop cabinet turned Grow cab!

So I decided I wanted to stop buying my clones. This lead to a trip to the thrift shop to see if I could find any good candidates for a grow cab. To my surprise my first stop was a home run. I found this beauty for $35.

I quickly started my work cutting exhaust holes and intake holes, getting my panda plastic and revamping my homemade CFL hood. I found a local computer store that had 3 120mm PC fans for $10 each brand new. I wired those up to a DC charger I had laying around the house. I went to lowes and got some weather stripping to help light proof the front of the cab. This is what I ended up with inside.

Here is a few more close ups of the fans and such.

Intake at the bottom.

Exhaust at the top.

I should have enough room for about 8 or so solo cups for clones. This will work out perfect as I am doing a SOG 12/12 from clone in my 4x4 tent under my 600w.

Love it man!!! If i had to do my small thrift store cab again, i would go taller like yours. Right now, mine is a half height dresser that I gutted. Yours would allow sooooo much more height room.
