2 options just take a dump next to the pc and it will smell so bad no one will notice...or if you still have the pc fan make a small crabon sock filter that the fan sucks the air from inside via the carbon filled sock and blows the clean air out the box

if you crush it enough but most charcoal from the store has been soaked with starting fluid making it a fire hazrad but you can get carbon at walmart or any pet supply store by the fish tanks pretty cheap 5-$10

Hey mate im lead to belive that walmart owns ASDA so if ya have a look around in there maybe ya will find it or go to a pet shop near the fish tanks look for activated carbon there is a thread i found in the forums on how to make a cheap carbon filter ill dig it up for ya its and easy and cheap way and it seems to get good results

i checked asda online and they dont have any carbon(wankers), how bad is the fire hazard for plain charcoal.

well the stuff is meant to be burned your best bet is to go to a pet shop that sells fish stuff and get the activated carbon from there
growing can take a while and if ya useing the charcoal and near the end of ya grow and puff evrything goes up not only have ya burnt ya house down but ya lovly plants are gone too
better safe than sorry

the UK has many pet stores as i have said before and well yeah i suppose h could order if he wanted but in sure going to a store would be cheaper and faster than the net (price because of postage and packing)

Ona gel is good. Make a ona air scrubber. 2 cups hydro crystals used for house plants come in a bag when they are wet the turn to like gel crystals. then 1 cup ona all in a 3 or 5 gallon bucket add 1 gallon water ...Ok well first drill about 50 holes around the top edge of the bucket about 2 inches down the sides all the way around. Then cut a hole in the bucket lid and place a cheap fan from hardware store lik inline one for $20 so its sucking air down into the bucket. The air blows into the crystals and gets cleaned then forced out the holes as a nice clean scent....google ona bucket to see one
