  2. DC Power Supply for Desktop Computers?

    Ask · Toy · · posted by Cliff · from the alternatives-to-the-ubiquitous-wall-outlet dept. · 27 comments
    cmowire asks: "Given that inverters waste a lot of power and using solar and battery power is getting to be more attractive given power shortages, are there any DC power supplies that can be bolted in place of a standard ATX power supply and tied to a battery/solar panel combo? I know that it's pretty trivial for a laptop to work like that, but I'm more curious about doing that for a desktop system."
