This guy is powering his AMD with a Tesla coil. _________________________ __________________ Scott MKIIa 10GB - 2.0b11 w/Hijack MKIIa 60GB - 2.0 final w/Hijack

If they were real Tesla coils, would this be accurate, or would the second coil have to be active somehow (as opposed to just a hunk of metal). _________________________ __________________ Scott MKIIa 10GB - 2.0b11 w/Hijack MKIIa 60GB - 2.0 final w/Hijack
