pc grow case need help setting up

[kochab]

this is an actual pc it still functions as it should, its a piece of shit that needs a harddrive so im going to make a case to keep a mother in with it.

how do i wire this mofo up where it still uses the original cord to the pc and dont look suspicious? I feel a drop cord running out of it would give it away really fast.......

gut the PSU and attach a normal socket to the inside of the socket where the PSU guts were joined to and plug the light into that. same cord plugs in the outside then.

eh i have no idea what you are talking about........
but i took the original killswitch in the pc that comes wired to the plug and 12 volt converter and wired a socket to a drop cord onto that so I can connet a power strip and some lights in there. I also took out the 12 volt converter and am useing a 120 to 12 volt transformer for a drill in there.
ill take pictures later on this evening or tommorrow. Im gonna keep a mom in there

okay here we go. I still kept the original cord. it leaks light out a bit but not terribly. the babies were in a spare bedroom that has no door with a naked cfl hanging above them so i had to conceal them a bit.

im adding more lights when i can configure them a bit better. im thinking im goonna break out some zip ties and epoxy.....

but yeah it has 2 fans, 1 on the front bringing air in near the base and one at the top of the rear wall on the cabinet, to exaust any rising heat from the lights and promote ventilation. I may keep a small mom in here eventually if i lst the shit outta it, or just sex and root clones for my outdoor project this year.

i would take the motherboard out but that is what leaves all the ports and shit on the back so it still half way looks real if the lights are off in it. I tried to break it in half but yeah... my sword wouldn't cut that mofo and its razor sharp. I also tried the claw hammer with no prevail, but i am going to spray paint it white so that it dosen't trap light so bad.

and if i take out the drivers then i will also loose the face to them and would leave a hole there in the front since i dont have any plugs(plastic doors that pop in and out if there isnt a driver there) to put in that space.
so without cutting them in half with a saw zaw that i dont have at the moment I cant think of any way to do that.

but what i got is alright for right now at the moment Ill only be rooting clones and raising some seedlings in there. later on i may keep a small mother though.
