At most stores that carry electronics gear (at least on the American side of the ocean) you can purchase a power inverter which converts from 12VDC to 120VAC. I assume someone makes something similar in europe. Even if they don't, you can get a US one and swap the power supply in your PC to be 120VAC.

Also, if you're using a laptop, some manufacturers (I know Apple does) has a 12VDC-&gt;Laptop power supply where you can skip the inverter.

Something about doing this when we wardrive, but since wardriving isn't quite a legal activity, I don't think I've ever been wardriving and I don't know a thing about it...

If you do this with a laptop, then your a little better off. All ya need is an inverter. Otherwise the power supply can be a real trip on the battery. Special setup will have boot timers etc. Check around should be able to find some more info from the s4/a4 forum (a few people did car computers there)

You can set it up so that when the laptop notices the external power is off, it goes to sleep, and then re-awakes when the external power is on.

It will allow you to have the computer to run on 12volts... also it will turn the computer on and off with a 12 volt sense wire that will hit the power button when the car starts and it will shut down when the car is off..
