Building grow cabinet, need advice

I've been growing for a couple years now; I started off in a ditch, grew in a forest, and most recently, in my closet which my parents busted. They said if I try to grow inside again they're kicking me out, so discretion is important this time around.

Here's the plan. I bought a BIG filing cabinet(4 drawers, 52-1/4"H x 18"W x 26-1/2"D)

I plan to veg and flower inside of it during the winter, and come spring start clones inside and transplant outside when it's warm enough.

What I want to do is use the bottom drawer for clones, and a mother.
Then use the second bottom drawer as the base for the growing chamber with the top 2 drawers removed with the front still hiding the contents.

If you have a better idea, hit me up

Otherwise what I need help with is:
-how should I stop light from escaping
-how should I vent it without an obvious hole
-how should I sound proof it
-how should I disguise electrical cords coming from it
-if you can think of any other problems please tell me

Unless you have a reason for having such a large filing cab, I wouldn't do it. Its only going to raise suspicions about what it's for and they might want to open it to look what papers your filing. I wouldn't grow w/ parents at home that don't approve. lol Actually i think it sounds kind of crazy. I had a friend that would do shit like that when he was young after he was caught the first time and he ended up getting kicked out and it ruined his relationship w/ his parents. Is it really worth it? If insist on doing it I would try something like this that you can try to make yourself: http://cgi.ebay.com/54-x20-x12-VERTICAL-SPEAKER-HYDROPONIC-GROW-BOX-SYSTEM_W0QQitemZ200364755327QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item2ea6ab897f

Its a fake speaker, that works, but has space to grow inside.

I made up a whole story to go along with the cabinet, it took me close to half an hour to tell it. I honestly don't care if they do kick me out I got plenty of bank to live on for a couple of years to get settled, I'm just a bit of a yuppie, which is why I didn't move out as soon as I finished high school. As far as my relationship with my parents, my dad didn't want kids and my mom's world revolves around my older sister. From the time I walk in the door at night me and my mom just yell at each other which is why I started smoking so much in the first place. As far as the speaker, that looks like an even better disguise, but I already got the $270 cabinet(which I couldn't take back after it wouldn't fit in my trunk and got dented, because the measuremnets in the flyer were wrong), so I'm using the cabinet

surely having a whole elaborate story that takes half an hour to tell is more suspicious?
and also, you must be really old to be living at home with your parents after high school; don't americans finish high school at 18? isn't all that shit an incentive to get your own place?
i would hate to live with my parents for any longer than i have to.

Dood. Are you retarded or just retarded? You dont grow in your parents house. Unless you keep your door locked at all times. Which, unless your parents dont care about, wont put up with, esp considering your past history.

Grow up, get your own place, then you can try big boy stuff.
