Bud production with just two low wattage CFL will be, well, pathetic. But, since you are trying to go stealth with a PC case grow then CFL are your only option. I would get the daylight spectrum CFLs and use tin foil on the walls of your PC case. If CFL is your only option then do it. Something is better than nothing, but if you can use an HPS, I would do that.

Yes that is a suitable CFL for growing. That light would best be used with a reflector or at the very top of your PC case. That light will produce more heat than a normal CFL, so you will need fans to evacuate heat.
