sine wave power inverters

does anyone here use a sine wave power inverter? while looking for a alternative to opus, i found sine wave inverters, they supply power equal to or "cleaner" then that of your home outlet. after some searching i found this one http://www.invertersrus.com/inv300ps.html which is only $129 for a 300 watt/ 1000watt max.

ya its not much cheaper then a opus, but you could run a good amount of devices off of it.

as for the turning on and shutting off of your pc, it would be pretty easy to run a switch or to. maybe a pc case power button to the front of your car.

as for surviving crank, i would guess no..

no one has ever used a pure sine wave inverter?

for a pc a sine wave inverter isn't necissary, some home audio equiptment would benifit, but a pc power supply will fiter out enough for a reg. inverter...

yep, just make sure its man enuff for the job wattage wise, also i find softstart inverters survive crank for me.
Good luck

my main reason for car PC is audio, you guys dont think it will help keep the sound clean? noticably?

no, as long as everything else is properly grounded, the audio should be clean.

works fine with me..
have a converter also (220V).
It consumes more power from your battery but works. I had a problem with the sound (shutting down/startup) sounded really bad. I made a switch to turn on the amps after startup windows.

It's sure a lot cheaper..

Before i mention, gets hot in summertime.. really hot. So i made a hole and installed a 12v fan
