Reply With Quoteyou could always order a dc 2 dc off the net, i'll be doing this soon.
i tried using a 400 watt inverter with my setup(see my setup in my sig), but then upgraded to a 800 watt
i've read a lot about dc/dc psu and how it is more efficient than using an iverter. however, that is not an option for me since none of those dc/dc converters are available at my area.
anyway, i would just like to ask if this is possible:
cpu piii (126w [151w if with dvd] total using power supply calculator) ==> psu (300w) ==> inverter 150w (peak 200w) ==> car battery
the only available inverters i could get are the 150w and a 600w. i think the 600w is sort or overkill.
am i gonna get in trouble using this setup?
thanks for your answers. and pls dont bash me if you think my post is stupid

@legacy
where are you from? i could order online but im on a really tight budget right now. item cost + shipping (philippines) is too much for me. not to mention the shipping and reshipping in case i get a faulty one.
anyway, thanks for your input
inverters are usually not very high-quality devices. Thus, it's probably better to buy one that's rated to a higher wattage than what you will be running it at, so it will be running well below its maximum power limit, and thus shouldn't be straining as hard and will be less likely to fail. 600 watt is overkill for a 150w system, but it's still a better choice than a 150w inverter that can barely handle it. I use a 250-300W inverter for my system that uses under 100W, and the inverter hardly strains, and doesn't get extremely hot, so I feel safer despite the fact that it's pretty cheaply made.
But don't take it from me! here's a quote from a real, live newbie:

thanks!
does a 300w psu always pull in 300w of power from the source or just enough of what the computer needs (i.e. 150w)?

I used a 200W inverter and a 220W 1U size ATX without a problem before. The ATX 12V has max. 140W. so it is good for some hungry mobo.
How do I find out what kind of PSU I need?
Just because I have no clue at all, I tend to use my old desktop a Compaq EVO W6000
as my next parpc.
I also don't know what kind of motherboard i have inthere so I did a quick search on Google and came up with this: http://www.ciao.co.uk/Compaq_Evo_Wor...W6000__5361157
Here it says this about my Mainboard
Chipset Type: Intel 860
Data Bus Speed: 400 MHz
And now????
Thanks

@all using inverter solution:
do you plugin you psu direct to the inverter or are you using an AVR/UPS in between to regulate the current?
thanks again!
thanks ariz_benedict,
But now it seems I need a PSU for 390 Watts I think I'll be going to use an other PC
