quote: if you have a decent spec machine hibernate will not be much quicker to load as a standard boot, i looked into doing this, have a 12v 90w 20pin ATX PSU ready and waiting and a pc pretty much built but have since decided against it because realistically i'd never use it and it would be for show only, as its not really worth the boot time and extra power load on the altenator for mp3's may as well just use cd's in the cd player! I have tried a couple of alternatives, one being connecting my phone up to the aux in, (k750i with 512mb mem card) which i did twice and decided its a pain when you want to change songs, i also hooked up my psp to the aux in and this was the same as the k750 however changing songs was better it still wasnt as easy as it is on the HU when playing a cd, but anyway, if you wanna put a pc in a car get a proper 12v power supply, linitx are one of the places that supply them, and most of them will have the function to turn the pc on/off with the ignition | |

Never seen a PC power supply with a 12v/240v switch. 120v/240v is more common. | |

You can't run a PC off of and invertor. Not powerful enough. You can run a laptop though which is worth a thought. | |

12v dc power would be the best as said however they are around 100 quid and need to be matched to the computer you wish to run.. | |

Get a 12v power supply for it. Be alot better rather than messing around with inverters, i had big problems with my xbox and inverters with interfearance. Now got a mini PS2 direct on 12v and its perfect. | |
