Anyone know of a good place/site to get some indoor Ballasts for the MH and HPS bulbs, I went to home depot but either you had to make the ballast and Im not electrician or the stuff they had for the HID lights were too big like for street lamps and outdoor spotlights

All over the Net. I won't bother linking any, because I don't know what country you are in.

a hydroponics store is a great place, for a 1000 watt hid ballast it's between 120-200 bux for a magnetic ballast. Cheaper all the way down, I payed 180 with tax for my ballasts (k's) each. Try Ebay? where ya from? I'm from North America.

By make the ballast is just a kit you buy ready to assemble? If so it's actually quite simple this is what I buy from my local hydroponics shop for like 20$ cheaper.
