    It kills anything trying to grow in a pure water loop.

    Silver is a natural Biocide and kills biologicals that would grow in a untreated loop.

    maxspam, What it does is its significantly cheaper than that 20$ hunk of silver ALSO its better physically designed so it maximizes its surface area w/ the coolant so the most silver is able to be mixed with water thereby increasing its biocidic properties

    These would actually be very useful for water cooling towers (ie. bongs) as they may help combat Legionellosis:

    I was debating buying a UV lamp for fish tanks, but this seems to be a better value (ie. no risk of blinding from the light, bling factor, size, easier to implement, etc.)

    Do these coils prevent growth in the loop, or do they also kill any current growth as well? I just redid my loop a few months ago and I'm only running 3% G11/D-water.

    FYI I sent Petra's a big bag of them this time so hopefully they should stay in stock over a week.

    Yes I suck.

    Sorry Ian... They're nearly gone already (aside from the small number that we stashed aside for the International guys). Better get back to work

    Oh chit. Good thing I already ordered more silver. Guess I've got to hang up my nifty new 3D vision kit that came in today.

    Today was the first time my girlfriend has ever walked in on me gaming and openly burst into laughter. Yes, 6'4" dude in a small office chair straddled by a piece of plywood with keyboard and mouse, sitting in front of a 65" HDTV with geeky shades, headphones, and a boom mic. Lovely.

    Better get a lock on that door!
    My wife just shuts the door to my office when
    I play, she doesn't like to hear me yelling,"Shoot,Shoot,Shoot, over there...."
    I have my headphones on so I can't tell if
    I'm yelling, oh well!

    I picked up two of those kill coils for my new rig.
    They look like they'll do the trick and it was easier than
    making them myself. Thanks!

    Nice one. Now she knows the real you!! No secrets there any more!

    BTW, which 3D shades are you using? Are you using the 120 Hz refresh rate ones that only work with Samsung 120 Hz monitor?

    I've got the new Nvidia 3D vision ones that just came out. I already happened to own a Mitsubishi 65" 120Hz DLP w/3d input which is one of the few displays on the compatible list.

    So far it works very well, although a few major (minor?) gripes...

    1) The lenses are darkly tinted so it works very well on dark games such as L4D and Bioshock, but in bright games like Crysis you really have to crank your display to get a correctly lit image back.

    2) The 3D effect is much more effective in close quarters "in your face" type games, so once again L4D and Bioshock win here. It is still really cool in Fallout 3 and Crysis but the 3D isn't nearly as apparent in wide open spaces.

    3) These are the least eye-bleeding of all of the 3D shades I've tried but they do still cause some eye fatigue, so they are definitely not for everyone, and I would say that the max comfort time for gaming would be between 1-3hrs depending on the person. 2hrs is pretty much pushing it for me... in all fairness though, it has a lot to do with sitting the correct distance from your display and not going nuts on the "3D depth" adjustment knob.






    I look damned funny all decked out too so maybe I'll have the GF snap a pic, I just have to make sure she doesn't end up posting it as a myspace bulletin or some .

    I have the 60" version and am waiting for my glasses from Nvidia. Now I have to buy an enclosed trailer to take my stuff to LAN parties

    Luckily I was able to get a few of them while they were available.

    Been waiting MONTHS for some.

    Also bought a XSPC Reservoir Top, (UN)Designs Z Bracket, and some black fan screws to enlighten my new H²O build.

    Yeah, and you would be one of them for spreading internet myths without doing a simple search.
