Edit: Nixed this cab
Here is the cab I'm considering buying for this project. Maybe one big piece of reflective insulation inbetween the doors and the rest of the cab? I've pretty much got the inside air flow figured out I just need help figuring light proofing the door.

I use this, keeps the negative pressure, and cost effective.

I found these rubbermaid boards on homedepot website. They will be used to work out the air exchange inside the cab. Perfect size imho.

In this thread a guy put panda film where the doors are. I'll try that

Just moved into an apartment but still wanted to grow a small amount. Decided to build a stealth cabinet. Take a peak

What I usually do with these:
I cover the inside with dry wall, just put a few small nails in each side, then I glue (with dry wall cement) on all four sides dry wall strips (4 the overhang) on which I put self sticking "D" gasket. It works like a charm and the extra effort is also fireproofing the inside plus you can paint it all you want with no worries in case you want to re-use the cab otherwise.
You can go freaky and add some magnets with washers to stick making sure when you close the doors it's closed well.

The problem with this cabinet is height and light.
I have a 3'x5'x6' autoflower tent that is being decommissioned after this run, in it are 5 55w autocob lights. I was hoping to put two of the lights in a new micro veg/flower combo cab. Height is an issue because seedlings need to start @22" then slowly lower as the plants grow to 12" half way through flowering.
It could maybe be a veg cab with cfls or screwing leds. Figuring how much space would be left over @ 16" tall pot size (6") and lighting (another 6") doesn't leave much left over for stretch.
I like how the drawer doors overlap which means less light proofing required.
I also have a full size dresser with 6 drawers maybe one side of it could be converted into a flower cab specs 15''deep 25'' Long 29" tall. The only problem with this is I store all my weed and growing supplies in these drawers.

My thoughts so far are as follows
It doesn't need walls or floor made of wood just panda film.
It's plenty big enough, lights, carbon scrubber, and electronics will fit
Do note this may not be the final cab I still need to buy the one from goodwill. Whichever is taller will win

I like the goodwill option...always enjoy cab builds and the problem solving that comes along with them.

Goodwill is a good place to pick up potential cabs on the cheap. Also a good place for books if you like reading.
