Hey guys.
     As I will soon be going back to school, and living in an apartment with 
2 people and have neighbors for the first time in my life, I am in need of 
some sort of project to keep me busy (yes, I do have homework, but man can 
not live by homework alone!).  Naturally, I want to build another TC, a 
small one, but it needs to make minimal RF interference, less noise (so a 
conventional spark gap coil is probably out) and be simple enough for me to 
understand (I have never tried solid state before), and cheap enough for me 
to afford (all college students are poor, unless their mommies pay for 
everything.  Mine doesn't).  So, all ye out there with experience, what 
would you recommend as a dorm friendly project, or am I stuck with flyback 
plasma globes (which are still fun, but lack the awe inspired by untethered 
high voltage).  Thanks.
Scott Bogard.
P.S.  My neighbors may not all be students, so I cannot use "you have your 
loud music, I have my TC" as an excuse for too much noise, but a little 
should be acceptable during the daytime.  Thanks again.
