Hella easy my friend :) join your PC fans wires together, leaving out the (yellow - (remote wire)....so black to black and red to red .. then connect the loom to a transformer plug that varies in voltage from 3V to 12V you may have to cut off the transformer connection adaptor at the end of the cable (furthest from the plug) to reveal 2 wires .. you should be able to connect either wire red or black to the 2 wire transformer plug however if it doesnt work just swap the terminals ..If you still dont quite get it I'll post pics later as a helping hand.. And yes you can have the both/all on the same plug, its better that way cos they'll run at the same speed as each other .. hope that helps - STELTHY

thanks bro, so i can run 2 fans off a 12v and not decrese cfm? both my fans are 12v. the last four i blew up i think i used an ac adapter instead of dc. probablly used to many volts also.

Ok I have tried both having the fan suck and blow and I'd have to say it works better sucking.. it may shorten the life of the fan but it will clear alot more heat alot quicker having it suck instead of blowing.. Also because the light is cooled hence "cool-tube" :) you can have the plants touching the cool-tube no problem :) providing the air you use comes from a different room with cooler temps or an AC unit etc then YES you can have the plants touching the tube and it will be mildly warm :) I also have a 250w ballast and a 400w ballast and I will prob start with the 250..... get that grow out the way and make notes then do the same for the 400 and then finally the 600 hardcore one.. But I am going to document the whole thing in this thread so feel free to leave comments, ask questions and well you get the idea :) keep watchin buddy more to come :) - STELTHY

The heat shouldnt be an issue, but since you are using a 600w, the light might be too intense and cause bleaching. I have this problem regularly with my plants, especially the ones right under the light. Just as a heads up, if you see the ones closest to the bulb turning light green and you get strange curling or abnormal growth, just break those branches to make them a little shorter and it should clear right up. If you use a scrog, you shouldnt have this problem.

Next I have decided to tackle a storage unit to house the ballasts within... this is the scrap wood (MDF) I picked up from B&Q it cost a quid fifty, so peanutz really :) and I had it cut to my measurements too, here's how the unit starts off - STELTHY

Here are the shelves... I had to draw around the foot holes to each of the ballasts and drill holes in the 4 corners of each ones - STELTHY

Then I had to bang nails into the back of each larger (side piece) of wood along the shelf lines .. 3 nails per shelf - STELTHY

So each of the out side's looked like this :) ... (easier to attach the shelves this way) - STELTHY

I continued to bang the nails through the other side so the shelves were held firmly in place.. - STELTHY
