Need advise on stealth box purchase/build

Hello there community ! :) I live in UK and am totally horrified by the amounts of money I spend on weed. I got to the point where I want grow some green for personal use. I like the PC stealth boxes the most and I'm wondering whether i should invest ~150-200 pounds on one or whether I should try to build one myself. Tbh I am not really good with electrics and i think i will have lots of problems if i am to build one myself, so MY QUESTION IS which growbox would you recommend for me to buy for growing for personal use, and if possible being the cheapest one since being a jobless student isnt very money efficient.

Thank you in advance

grow outdoors, its constantly damp in the u.k so you wont have to water much. that is if you live outside of a city. if not pc cases are extremely easy to build/buy. i movd back o the u.k for a year and grew some outdoor herb. it turned out really great with litle maintenance

luckystrike, I am also looking at building a stealth grow cabinet from an Ikea cabinet. They cost about £38, so really this is quite cheap. However you do need some knowledge of electrical engineering to install lighting/fans/etc. Fans are safe if you're using computer case fans because they are 12 volts, however lighting is 240 volts and you could seriously hurt/kill yourself (electrocution) or others (by causing a fire) if this wiring is done incorrectly or poorly (using wire rated for the wrong current, et cetera.)

Perhaps you have some trusted friend who could help you with the electrical parts... I looked at some of the pre-made solutions and they are very expensive. Be safe, and good luck! :)
