Thrift shop cabinet turned Grow cab!

So I decided I wanted to stop buying my clones. This lead to a trip to the thrift shop to see if I could find any good candidates for a grow cab. To my surprise my first stop was a home run. I found this beauty for $35.

I quickly started my work cutting exhaust holes and intake holes, getting my panda plastic and revamping my homemade CFL hood. I found a local computer store that had 3 120mm PC fans for $10 each brand new. I wired those up to a DC charger I had laying around the house. I went to lowes and got some weather stripping to help light proof the front of the cab. This is what I ended up with inside.

Here is a few more close ups of the fans and such.

Exhaust at the top.

I should have enough room for about 8 or so solo cups for clones. This will work out perfect as I am doing a SOG 12/12 from clone in my 4x4 tent under my 600w.

So far everything is good. Temp stays around 80 degrees. Humidity in domerror is between 80 and 90.
 
Love it man!!! If i had to do my small thrift store cab again, i would go taller like yours. Right now, mine is a half height dresser that I gutted. Yours would allow sooooo much more height room.
