    ive been using an inverter for years also. I actually have it hardwired into my car on a switch. Its under my passenger seat and it runs my laptop, USB hub and external hard drive.

    I have a 1500 watt inverter that runs my CarPC, Laptop and a Leaf Blower if I feel the need ;) I can run my CarPC with screen for about 4 - 5 hours and still start my car and it consumes about 200 watts of power.

    Edit : I should probably add that I have a Optima Blue Top marine battery.

    That would be sweet. I should put coffee hot plates in my cup holders too ;)
