My PC Grow

im not puttin reflective material im gonna spray paint glossy white. im not gonna do a dwc this time-i have one for clonin though so if the case is too small after this trial run ill just use it for cloning

Im gonna use scotts soil or see if the hydro shop has some fert free dirt.

im trying to follow this tut

but my power supply turns on and then right back off? any1 have any idea why?
is my ps fried?

ok forget last post, i got the PS working and i have it operating a few fans.
but my new question is, whats the proper way to get rid of all the extra wires on it, do i just completly snip them off? or does that ruin the PS?

well im just about done completly stripping the pc case down .
it was worse then hell getting that metal out of there

I registered just to see the pictures of this. I have been intending to build a pc grow box for several months now, I just haven't gotten around to it. I plan to use mine mostly for starting seeds when it's still cold here to then move outside, cloning, and sexing. Best of luck to you.

ill be posting up some pics in a little bit just trying to get more work done on it

I just looked at the tutorial and thats intesnce man, im just using a extenshion cord with a light socket and it goes to a power bar and my fan will be pwerd by a cell phone charger. that looks like to much work for me lol

yea man wait till u see wut im working on im really trying to make it work just i keep running into 1 obstacle after another. this case is the devil, lol.
it is like some unbendable steel or something. one i pass an obstacle another one is immediately presented to me

I guess i got lucky mine wasnt to bad to strip out, its just a pain to put the panel back on cause in a huge piece, im gonna try with only one fan at teh top blowin hot air out and see if the temps are still good. Im gettin higher power fans for my hps grow on fri or sat so ill just use one of the comp fans from that.

do u have a thread of ur pc grow?

well construction is going to be postponed for a day or two
i just completly screwed my hand over.
Severly burned it with a soldering iron
between the crease of thumb and index finger
and my thumb and index finger
got a huge burn mark and im sure it'll turn into a giant blister. not really gonna be able to construct much with my hand like this.

ill post some pics up soon though and let you all see what ive got so far.

also i hope to keep hearing from you sirus on your pc grow construction

No I dont yet but I will put one on here in a couple days, Shitty dealz on the war wound man-hope it feels better soon Peace Sirus

you need to remove the internal bays mounts and the psu mount and you should not to to hacksaw they are usually screwed in if bolted pry them out

hey dude i just finsihed building my pc box and am just putting it through some testing. you cased it very usable as for using a hack saw i some think thats needed most case are riveted together so grab a power drill and metal bit and start drilling! any ways keep posting pics and ill be happy to give you some pointers. ill be creating a thread with my pc case sometime this week hope you subscribe ill be watching yours. cheers

If the drive bays being being held on by just rivets (the little weird screw type looking things) if you have a drill and a metal peice for it you can drill those babys out and voila no more drive bay

dope ideas going around here. i couldn't help but notice that your computer seams to to be riveted together total hassle to take apart. you should able to to find and old one for nothing one that is screwed in most places. Just an idea.

peace.

rivets arent hard to remove at all power drill and i 1/8 metal bit took me like 10 min. to remove 50.

all my rivets popped with a screwdriver, not recomended though hah

after my recent hand injury i have been moving slowly
but i finally got the PC Stripped
here a quick look



im leaving the power supply, going to have it hooked up so i can run the fans off of it and that way it even sounds like its a running computer.

now i just need to begin construction. i need to get a material to seperate the grow area and the section where the wiring will be
not sure what to use for the divider yet. going to work on some other stuff also to get it going,
if any1 has any ideas leave them here. thanks
