If setup "properly", chances of fire is zero.

You can cut an IKEA wardrobe, yes, there is no physical law that prevents you doing that.

Whether a fan will be clogged by dust is 100% yes over a long enough period of time. Carpet don't produce dust, but dust (from other sources) tends to float down by gravity and the floor is generally a dusty environment the lower you get, dust are flung about by air movement like tumbleweed in a desert, that is why dust gathers together and eventually a big enough crumb will find its way to your fan.

You should check out the grow tents they sell. They self ventilate, aren't expensive, many different sizes. My cousin got one and loves it.

Could I stick a filter over the fan or will that create too much suction on the intake?

I would happily get a grow tent but my landlord does checks every month or two, So i wanted something that he cant question or ask me to explain.

Thats why a wardrobe is my go to option

Ozstoners.com.au people have build/ grow diaries and plenty of info on optimisation for yield on diff strains have fun

It's your brother stop lying dip shit

filter will REDUCE the suction/intake whatever. it will cause a reduction yes, as it clogs with dust this reduction will increase until you clean/change it, thats how filters work.
the bigger a filter you get, more surface area, more folds and stuff means less reduction of suction, thats why filters have ridges and folds in them

he will question a wardrobe covered in hoses and wires and aluminium foil that stinks of weed perhaps? and why your electric bill doubled? only 200w isn't that much but its enough to raise suspicion on 24/7

>I would happily get a grow tent but my landlord does checks every month or two

he's going to smell your weed

Just buy a grow tent online dummy. You'll have hydroponically grown delicious herbs for your dinner in no time.

you dont need a 200 watt light , use some 100watt cfls they stay cool

Investing in a carbon filter is worth while but you need to explain the buzzing wardrobe you won't open.
OP Check out rollitup.org great forum for growers. You can also buy grow environments that look like closests/wardrobes for this purpose like the Bonanaza Mini Grow Box, these will be better as they have reflective interiors and the plant will thrive better. Take it from someone who's going through a court case for growing, if you're in the UK what you're doing is illegal and you're a criminal for growing weed, not my opinion, the opinion of the Jack ass judge I'm dealing with. I sold to 6x friends and no more than 8g to any of them and I still got busted. DON'T TELL ANYONE AND DON'T SELL/GIVE A SINGLE GRAM TO ANYONE!
Best of luck, I really miss growing and I miss the pain relief it brought me.

Smell proofing and lightproofing are fairly easy to do by looking at examples online, another thing I was curious about was the ability to quieten down the fans, like if I were to install them and pad out the fitting, would it absorb some of the vibrations?

Yep, mounting them on rubber and suspending them from the frame will reduce the noise. You can also get noise reducing ducting.
