Computer in car.... November 23, 2004, 05:56:21 PM The neg is notted with a - through it.up and down on the right side are 1-10 and 11-20 on the left.I Have actually accompilished all of the things need to correctally set up a computer in a car. I have sucessfully splice 5.1 from a computer to a car radio, set a computer to work on a regular tv monitor(using tv out)and got a wirelss mouse and keyboard. The only thing that I am stuck on is the power supply. Does anyone know what voltage the ground is run on?. I am thinking that it has to be 3.3v because I cannot find a 3.3v neg. wire. Also what voltage is the power okay and power supply on voltage run at? This is just a quick imitation of the info that I have right now. Quote Selected

Re: Computer in car.... Reply #4 – December 02, 2004, 06:10:04 PM I remember doing something like this once, well at least just the plans for it. But I was quickly told by many car audio people that I would need a DC-DC inverter because a computer power supply supply much cleaner power than can be found in a car and the voltage spikes and such that are present in a car can damage the motherboard and other components like hard drives. PS www.mp3car.com is a whole site dedicated to what you are trying to do. They even sell everything you need to do it. Quote Selected
