A couple questions about growing in a PC Grow Case

I want to attempt my first grow and I want to do it in a PC Grow Case. I will be building the case myself following this guide http://www.weedguru.com/forum/viewto...p?f=88&t=26625

But I've just got a couple questions about it all...

1. Can I just use regular PC Case Lights? Something like this... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2PC-W...#ht_3724wt_952

I figure UV light is good for plants so maybe a couple of these wired up to a cell phone charger?

2. How often should I water and how much water should I use for veg and for flowering?

3. What can I use to cover up the fans to block the light and keep it trapped in the case but still allow air flow through the case?

The reason I want to use the PC lights is because I can't find what the adapter is called that lets you plug a cfl into a power point and also being in Australia I doubt I will be able to find them easily, living in a country town probably doesn't help with that either.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

I posted this in Indoor Growing accidentally also so that one can be locked/deleted.

1. No, you really need to just use the tried and true method of CFL's.

2. Use as much water as your plant needs. Meaning, water until you get runoff through the bottom. Then, only rewater when your finger is dry 2 inches deep in soil, and when the pot feels light. This way you avoid overwatering.

3. One thing I've seen people do is build a small box to fit over the exhaust vent, and diffuse the light in the box, then exhausting it out. Easy enough to find the DIY on google.
