specs:
asus motherboard
2.8 p4
1gig of sdram
160 gig harddrive
I have a 380 watt powersupply running off of an 850 watt inverter. The only devices I have plugged in aside from the hard drive is:
computer case fan
processor fan
usb mouse, keyboard, and GPS reciever
1 serial remote control receiver
a dvd rom drive (usb, but it has a seperate molex connector going to it)
I should add that i tried unplugging everything (all the USB devices, the serial device, sound, etc) from the system except for the monitor and the mouse inside my truck.....and it still locked up.
I'm running the computer right now in my basement, with the powersupply from my truck, and it's running great.
