Here it is assembled.

You could easily put six bulbs on a standard power strip. I personally am not using this setup because I have some HIDs and will only be using CFLs for the first two weeks of vegging, but thought some CFL users might like it. I recommend using zip ties to secure the fixtures to the power strip.
That's exactly what i picked up from walmart yesterday, 4 100watt equivilent cfl's. I'm germinating seeds as i type. I am gonna go up and pick up 2 more lights tomorrow for that 6 total.The box i'm using is a 2 ft x 2 ft x 2 ft one. I wanna see if i can get my plant to grow as squat as Silentsmoke's.

Edit: Actually, i think ima do the middle y setup with 2 75watt hps bulbs from home depot. They screw into regular light fixtures. I think it'll create a good mix of spectrums and i'll make sure the box very well ventilated cause there are gonna be a lot of lights in a small space.
