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.

lol just buy an inverter for your car it will work a hell of alot better and it will give you the ability to have other things than your xbox running off it

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

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.

check mini-itx type stuff for car kits
