Thread: how to power my carputer

Hi, im fairly new to the forums and have a few questions

i am building my carputer from a mac blue and white. I am not sure how to power it tbough. It will be built into my trunk and there is a power plug (12v 5v cigarette lighter looking plug right where it will be. How can i tap into that? what inverters, plugs adapters to i need?

also, whats the smallest PSU i can get away with, i want at least 200W of power, but not too much space, what about this, http://www.mini-box.com/s.nl/sc.8/ca...it.A/id.300/.f
