PCI relay for pump

[stumpy]

Can anyone recommend me a good PCI relay switch for turning my 120V pump on and off with the computer? Or is it just fine to leave it on as long as the noise doesn't bother me?

If i do go with a switch, I want something reliable and long-lasting, not something that'll fail to turn on my pump, thus screwing me over significantly...


Thoughts?

You would be fine just leaving it on all the time, if you don't really care. However, if you *do* want a PCI card, the Criticool Powerplant V2 (version 1 seemed to have a tendancy to shock the hell out of everyone with exposed 120V lines...).

All kinds of resellers sell them too.

I use the CritiCool PCI relay. I would recommend it.
