I wanted to minimize space of having all these seperate requirements to grow good bud. So really, my initial goal was to move out of the closet (which I can not vent) and into something more easily ventilated.
I then thought, since I do a single grow at a time, why not make the cabinet hold a carbon scrubber, and allow it to function as a drying cabinet as well.
Any grow box can be a drying cabinet as well if you have enough solid airflow and venitlation. This is in part why I added so much ventilation.
All of the items in my grow box from the wood to the materials (with a few exceptions) were scrap around the house.
Materials:
2x4s I had in the garage that I ripped with a table saw to build the basic structure.
4x8 sheet of 1/8" maple ply we had left over from building our kitchen cabinets and draws, cut to size with a circular saw.
Misc. PVC parts and LOCKOUT nuts for passive intake holes.
2 (55CFM) fans were from the grow closet
Misc. wiring, and other electrical equipment were left overs from other builds, etc.
Hinges and latches also left over
FLAT WHITE paint - given to me by a friend
CARBON SCRUBBER - Purchased on ebay for about $65.00 - NOT stealthy by any means in my opinion... quite loud.
(Same as it would have cost me to build it myself)

Lighting: During flower I will use, and during the veg mode, I swap the bulbs for proper spectrums.
3 CFL BULBS 105w each (315w total) 2700k Non-Mogul/ballast not required
105 WATT CFL 2700K
3 CFL BULBS 105w each (315w total) 6500k Non-Mogul/ballast not required
105 WATT CFL 6500K
This box is 2ft x 2ft x 3ft high. This was not designed to be stealthy by any means...
But here it is...
