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 3
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.
