12v input atx Power supply
Hey all
I was just wondering does anyone know of a place to buy 12 input atx power supplies? Or the schematics for one so i could build it? it only has to be 100W or so. I plan to put it in my xbox when i put in my car.
Any helps greatly appreciated.

Remember most inverters are a "modified square wave" output rather than Proper AC, which works for most devices, but will sometimes put a nasty hum in audio systems if they have wimpy filtering.
"True Sinewave" Inverters are availabe, but are typically much more expensive _________________ Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people

12V atx supplies can be bought from Everything Linux (www.elx.com.au just search for dc-dc) they have 60W and 80W boards.
The 60W is about $60,
ELS0001 ATX DC-DC Board - (12v, 60W)
Internal DC-DC Power Converter
Dimensions: 160 (L) mm x 45 (W) mm
Input Voltage Required (V): 11.30 ~ 12.60V
Input: DC 12V in (From External AC Adapter)
The 80W is about $86
ELS0005 ATX DC-DC Board - (12v, 80W)
Internal DC-DC Power Converter
Dimensions: 160 (L) mm x 45 (W) mm
Input Voltage Required (V): 11.30 ~ 12.60V
Input: DC 12V in (From External AC Adapter)
Just watch the input voltage, it won't work off the cigarette lighter, only a 12V SLA or car battery.
