What's a decent power invert for car pc?

[AbsurdNY]

I have a slim line dell pc that I want to hook up in my car with my dvd dash. The power supply in the pc is 300 watts I believe. What would be a good power inverter I should buy to hook this up? Should I get one that is rated for 300 watts?

Thanks for the link. Right now I don't have anything but a jensen dvd deck but I am looking to get 2 12 inch R.E. XXX subs or Fi Audio BTL's. Not sure on the amps I want yet. The Dell pc I have is small enough to put under the front seat and I was thinking about putting a 300 gb external hard drive under the other seat so I can just store all my music and movies on it.

Looks like a good plan ,, for the pc, i'd recommand you to do a custum transparent plastic box with neons , it 'd more estectic !

being safe would be a dc to dc built for this with turn on turn off features.

Is it a laptop or a desktop?

It's a very slim desktop.

Yep.

I'm just looking for a quick way to hook it up for now and the dc to ac power inverter seemed like the easiest way to me. Plus a outlet in the car would be nice also.

I have an inverter that plugs into the Dc outlet in the car and it has a standard plug, with a switch.

I use it to charge my cell phone.

I would get something like that but I'm not sure if that would have enough watts to run a computer. I might just get a power inverter that is around like 700 watts so I have enough for the computer plus other stuff

go to mp3car.com and look up dc-dc power supplies. That would probably be your best option.

That DC-DC power supply stuff looks a little too confusing to me. I'm just looking for a DC-AC power supply that I can wire to my car and plug my computer into. The DC-DC power supplies look like the computer has to be modified for them to work. I'm not familiar with that kind of stuff. I just want to plug it in and go and also have a outlet in my car so I can use it with other things I need it for.
