Both Homegrown Hydroponics and BC Northern Lights both make nice grow boxes. I was considering buying one from BC Northern Lights for a while before I found out that they ran with heat problems. It seems that that BC Northern Lights does not have enough fans to keep it running cool enough. I have looked at some of the new grow boxes from Homegrown Hydroponics and they seem to have way more fans to keep them cooler and they are way less expensive.
