    I think you're SOL punkin head, because even if you where to get that powersupply you'ed still have to find a way to power the monitor.

    My advise would be to do a sneaky inverter setup that you can remove easily with no trace.

    No way would I bring a tower on board a truck. They simply are not built for the vibration. My guess is you'll be losing components within weeks. Just a guess though.

    the PSUs for computers need the 110v. They actualy have ones that require 220v now because of the wattage. The last poster is right. After doing some thinking, i realized that while i would have the space for my tower, the vibration would distroy the HDDs and optical drives in a short time. Not to mention if you plan on having a fridge the surge powr those require plus the constant power needed from the towers PSU alone, not to mention the wattage needed by the monitor, you'd have to have a hefty inverter which most companies wont allow. Your best bet is to spend some money, and get a decent laptop. the blue and yellow big name store sells a killer gateway lappy thats black and orange called the FX and sells it for $1100. big screen amazing graphics. can play crysis on high settings full rez and WoW with no issues.

    I ended up selling the tower in my avatar pic. Went and bought two MSI netbooks each were $299. Does anything ill ever have time to do out there. Search the web, and instant messaging. Also has a built in webcam so i can video chat with my wife while im gone.
