i wouldn't suggest anything. If i were you, i would get power backup for the computer. So everytime you turn off your car, your computer will be on standby. Thus, won't have to waste time booting up.
Powering my ICE?
I have a small Cappuccino TX3 computer, a Xenark 700TSV touch screen, and a TV tuner amp on the way. I want to power all of this in my car. I was thinking about just getting a DCto AC power inverter that would hook into the Cig lighter and cutting off the end to tap somwehere. Where would I connect the end to? Should I buy a amp kit like one would use for subs and just connect it that way? Any other suggestions for powering my system? Thanx.

a power backup for the computer? You mean an UPS? I run those in my house for my computer, but how in the world would I wire that? Those things are so big and heavy, where would U put it? The batteries don't even last that long, so standby would eventually die... plus, when they loose their power, they automatically beep to warn you they don't have power.AIYA said:i wouldn't suggest anything.
