I bought a second PSU for my SX260 and hacked the connections onto a DSX12V PSU (search for threads started by me for a writeup).
I suspect that's the best way ahead for you too.

, they are pretty compact computers, and they have an external power supply which converts from 240V to 12V 18Amps with an average of 220 watts.

I have upgraded it to a 200 gig HDD and 1 gig DDram it already has a P4 somethingMHz, which will be great to run the programs i am planning to use.

I would like to put that in my car, however I am having big problems trying to find a power supply replacement

.
I thought of the M2-ATx however it only supplies 160 watts or so from memory.

I prefer not to use an inverter

, however it seems to be the only option.

Any ideas please

? It's the last piece of my setup until i can install the system.

Did you got it running??

long story short, no.

I have been delaying this project because I didn't have the time to look into this as I started working 7 days/week.
Then the tablets started to make a good impact on the carpc market and new releases are coming up.
Then I had a laptop which i thought i'd convert to carpc.
and now considering to get the SX back instead

It is sitting in my room doing nothing so I am getting to the stage where I will jut buy the carnetix and hack it hoping for the best.
