Suggested invertor?

I've been searching these boards trying to figure out which invertor to buy, and can't find what I'm looking for. Hopefully someone can help.

I want the computer and invertor in the trunk, with the power to the invertor being controlled by the ignition switch (i.e. when I turn the key to the accessory or on position, the computer gets power. When I turn the key off, the computer loses power).

I know some invertors don't come back on after they lose power, I want to avoid this. What suggestions do people have?

get the highest quality one you can, and get one that matches your PS, if you have a 200watt ps, only get a 200watt inverter.
I have a 600watt, and it seems as if the more energy they produce, the worse the quality gets.
But thats just from my experience

50w over wont hurt. Yeah, you probably only need to match the watts on the PSU, but 50 extra wont hurt. I got a USB HD which needed external power...thus needed more than my car CPU. Make sure you arent going to be adding anything else (ie. playstation, extenral accesories, etc.). But I agree, 600w is probably way too much and will probably not be nearly as quality as a lower supplier. I think most people around here have 300w.

Try this one

Or

All 4 of these should work just fine.


Maybe a little higher quality one.

Are you sure you want an inverter, and not a DC-DC?

DC-DC would be nice, but I was hoping to have the computer just plug in when I bring it inside to work on it. Also, I am planning on upgrading sometime, and would then have to get an ATX power supply right? If I had an inverter nothing would change...
