I have completed a grow box inside a pretty decent sized PC Case. I have 3 1600 lumen per light cfls. Foil on the inside of the case covering it and 2 80MM fans one for exhaust and the other for inhale of cool air. My only problems are light leaks. Not so much that im worried about light leaking out and my plant wont get all the light but the fact it looks somewhat obvious. I have the ps2 mouse ports and video port etc from the back of the pc exposing light. I tried to cut the ports off the mother board and super glued them back in which looks sorta tacky from the inside but doesnt bother the space however I could get them all put back in the back. So im still exposing lights is there any solution for just perm. fiixing this without it looking to obvious and also the fans leak soooo much light out the back what can i do to reduce that also. Thankyou for the help

1. Note you want daylight (6500Kelvin) for veg and warm white (2700Kelvin) for flowering using CFLs.
2. Foil is bad. You better off just painting it plain white. However using mylar, or cut down an emergency blanket would be better.
3. I use A\C duct tape for light leaks, and sometimes as a reflecting material alone. Its around 10 bucks for a 60 meter roll around here. It is shiny silver with threads criss-crossed inside of it.
