This is just a Rube Goldberg. (look it up

)

He is not powering his PC from a tesla coil. Nor did he have a cpu that would run at 230degrees F or C Just a joke from a competitive Seti enthusaist would be my guess. Tesla coils generate Ultra high voltages but low and unsteady currents...he would need huge banks of capacitors to actually run his PC from it.
