Reply With Quotei'm powering almost the same setup with a opus 150 with no problems, mine even has a bigger CPU P4 2.3Ghz
but for hibernation sakes, I would take that ram down to 512 or even 256 and that will help to reduce the amount of power needed.
First of all hello ppl... I'm gettin a puter in my vauxhall calibra soon
My setup will be
1. Asus p4s800 MX Series MoBo
2. Intel P4 1.8 / 1Gb Ram
3. Notebook 40Gb HDD
4. Notebook Slot-in DVD-ROM drive
5. Built in VGA (SiS) > may wanna change this to get 800x480
6. Built in Audio card that will interact with head unit in AUX mode
7. PCI > WiFi Lan Card USRobotics
8. PCI > GPS
9. PCI > Asus TV-FM Card
10. Usb card reader
11. Usb extension (free to connect any usb device)
12. Lilliput Touchscreen 7"
I have thought of powering this beast with an inverter cause i suppose no DC-DC adapter could handle (maybe can construct a custom made one but not now) the requirements.
So INVERTER + TANK BATTERY (i have a 70Ah as main would add another 70Ah) + APC.
Would this
A) Work?
B) Last how long when engine off?
C) Survive a "Crank"? <--what is this btw?
D) Need a shutdown system?
E) Suck all battery with APC? (or was it UPC?)
thanks for any answer folks

P.S.:
I posted this after reading tons of posts... many ideas seem cool like rikys scheme... but i really dunno which idea to use (purchase a 400W DC-DC?).
So in name of simplicity and easyness i thought of the upper config.

thanks for the ultra-fast reply!
ok then it could go for that opus 150...now
let's make believe i got that.
It happens often i have to w8 4 my gf to get out of work, so I would definitely use some time watching a movie. How long would the battery (main) last?
Check out my setup: That is ran on an Opus 150. I haven't had my engine off with my carputer on long enough to drain the battery but it lasts long enough for a movie.Originally Posted by Moby

You won't know if it survives crank until you try it. Some inverters will, some won't. Since you didn't specify a shutdown device, it won't shut down automatically.

@XBrady
a whole movie? Well I guess i won't be needing the tank battery then.
@Bugbyte
It wouldn't survive crank with the UPC / APC thing? Argh... i thought it would've. Must find other solutions with inverter then...
opus will survive crank, if you do decide to go with an inverter the APC inverter is one that I have personally used and it survives crank

hmm ok i think ill buy that opus...
should i ask them to mod the powersupply so to turn off the USB voltage?
(discussed here > Looking for a creative solution: USB bus still powered after CPU is off)
I'm so happy the battery lasts one whole movie at engine off!!
you dont look like you have very many usb devices so I would say no, but thats going to be more up to you
