    Thats interesting, but i believe it only outputs one or 2 voltages, not the same as an atx cpu. so its good for powering laptops, or handhelds, but it would require more work to use for a desktop.

    A lot of Laptops use between 10-18v DC.

    If you located a laptop that had a 12v input PSU, and then used the correct version of the Juice supply and hacked on the necessary connector for an Epia board then it might work, if The Juice can supply sufficient Ampage.

    DC Input: 11.75-16 VDC ~8A MAX

    11.75V input is too high when your start your engine your system will reboot...

    But it's a nice PSU for a removable system! (home use and car use!)

    That was what I thought. Maybe build a tank circuit, and make the DC connector for the Juice on the end of that.

    So the power will stay above 11.75 while you are cranking (if you battery is halfway decent, and your car starts quickly.
