Default ReVolting question

You might look to the in car video units that have blossomed on the
market in the past few years... not sure about the connection to your
though, and some are pretty small. But they are designed for a 12 v
vehicle and all the variation that entails.

Let me know how it works out.

There are flat screen LCD's which already use 12 vdc - just look around I
plan to use one directly to house power - as far as tower vs laptop -


still

think laptop (for size) is the best bet - a little more $$$ however easier
to transport smaller foot print more adaptable to 12 vdc and sometimes


more

powerful than tower - also less energy - had both tower and laptop on last

yr trip and only used tower in marinas

Here's hoping someone in these groups has already done this...

I know that the typical computer power is 12v to most drives - but much


less

to other components.

I'm thinking about a flatscreen monitor and a desktop for onboard
computing/DVD watching, vs a laptop, but wouldn't do it if I had to do


the

inverter route.

Anyone modified flatscreen and desktops to take 12V - and actually get
*that* much vs full charged voltage?

Thanks.
