The only problem is that you need to convert the power? If so, the answer is an inverter. What this will do is convert the 12v DC power from the car battery to 120V AC (standard household power plug). They can be purchased at almost any auto parts or electronics stores. For a full desktop computer with a CRT Monitor you will probably need at least an 800 Watt inverter, but since the power ratings on most electronics aren't always truthful (or just use different ways of determining it) be prepared to buy a 1000W. http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2484365&cp=&sr=1&origkw=inverter&kw=inverter&parentPage=search Many car-part stores sell inverters. You plug one end into a car's cigarette lighter, and on the other end the device presents a normal wall-socket, into which you can plug your desktop PC and its monitor. Other types of inverters are supposed to be wired to a car-battery directly. An inverter converts a car's dc-12V power into the ac-120V that household wall-sockets have.
