Negative. You want a GENERIC power inverter. Plugs into your cigarette lighter/battery (based upon the wattage you will be drawing), and provides you with 1-4 power sockets. That's the most efficient, cheap way to do it. However, if you're wanting the real professional look, you'll want to learn some wiring stuff and steal a light (think ashtray..) and use its 12V connectors to power the stuff. Don't ask me how to do that stuff, not my forté [sp?]. -Brian |

Yeah just go just about anywhere and buy a small power inverter. You can get them to just plug into your cigarrette lighter.

Lol.. was playing CS earlier, negative sounded right
 What I'm saying though is, you don't want any PS2-specific stuff because either they're going to completely rape you on the price (just to have that tagline "PS2-ready"), or it's only going to work on the PS2 and nothing else down the road. -brian |

Ehh i just went to target and bought a $40 power inverter, it works great. I have put lots of stuff in my car from a computer, to a ps2, xbox, all worked just fine. but if you want it to look nice just hide everything its not hard. I have done it.
EDIT: You could just wire it in the back of you cigarette lighter like i did. thats if you dont want to take up your cigarette lighter, like me i use it for my cell phone charger. This post has been edited by Mousetrashdiver: Mar 23, 2004 - 10:59 AM |
