Hey does anyone have the name, or a link of a good brand power inverter that i can by ? i looked at sears and stuff like the that, but i dont want to buy some bootleg thing that wont work good

Im looking to run an Xbox!....350 W ???

not sure what an Xbox pulls in terms of wattage but i can't see it using more than 100 watts.. check out radio shack.. have an inverter from them.. works great since 1997..

Monster Cable makes a real good inverter. they tend to be a little more pricey but there is no noise with the Xbox.

 

go to www.compgeeks.com they have a little silver and blue inverter that works great, it will handle upto 130 watts I think, and it's less than $20. I've been using one for a while and have been very pleased. if you type slickdeals in the coupon line you might get an extra 10% off

 

I got one from grainger and it peaks at 600 watts I run a portable dvd player with 2 screens and a ps2 with out any complications and it was around $60..............

ok, here is a twist, what about an inverter that goes from 110 to 12vdc? Like, for car shows, like hot import nights, where you have to disconnect your battery, but you still want your stereo to work, or your interior lights...?? Where can I find one of them?

i bought my inverter at autozone. its made by coleman. it was like 50 bucks, and its about 800 watts i think. anyways, i run a PS2 from it all the time, and i've run

a hairdryer
a george foreman grille
a lava lamp
cell phone charger
R/C car charger.

(not all at the same time )

never had a prob!

 

Sams Club has one that is 500W for about 27 bucks. Comes with a carry case, etc. I use one to drive telescopes and laptops at the same time.

Astron makes killer power supplies. also if you check a distributor that sells Metra products (people who make the kits/harneses for vehicles) they have a couple of power supplies in their "Install Bay" line.

 

here's another one for ya

120 to 12v
