I haven't seen any of these here and thought I would share my DIY male plant box that I use inside my flowering room.
Basically the idea is to cut a hole in the top of your tote, mount the fan using a silicone gasket maker and duct tape a very good filter to the inside. The fan should pull air from the container out through the filter. I don't cut any holes in the container for air, there are enough gaps with the lid on that it keeps air pulling through and doesn't let any air escape from inside the container without going through the filter. Pretty simple design, it could be more elaborate but it works fine for me. Make sure to remove the tote before I open it, of course.
Parts List:
Plastic Tote - $15
120mm PC fan - $5
12VDC Charger - Free, it was laying around
1200 micron air filter - $15
Tube of silicon gasket maker - $2
