now, if i get this als i do is get a powersupply and hook it to this via power cord, (like normal) and treat this like a house hold outlet! right? and then hook everything up to the computer that way, instead of cuttin up a ps and riggin it myself.

300W is perfect!!!

nice size too - can mount under passenger seat easily!

yes it will in essence be a full blown computer that is hot-swappable from your car to your main rig....

makes it easier to update your songs - and you just run win98 and your good to go basically

you will howver you will need a longer cord from the cig lighter to the adapter
