[dennisdko]

aside from notebooks and other gadgts na mataas ang price.
paano yung mga budget meal setup na gusto mag mobile ofc?
is it possible to hook an old p3 motherboard and put it on a boxed enclosure[for suv]?
the mini enclosure made of wood will house the cpu, kbrd mouse can be plugged and unplugged anytime can liliput lcd serve as a montior?
is that possible?

mga pare,

I need your advice and recomendations on setting up a mobile office inside my vehicle. What I plan to do is fit a laptop alongside a portable printer inside a SUV.. any other suggestions?

For internet, I plan to use my cellphone as a modem to connect to the net. as for other techie stuff, medyo malabo nako dun.. what other hardware can you guys recommend? planning to use this kasi sa Batangas-Laguna area and I really need the convenience of a mobile office.

Thanks!

Hi dehadista,

Is this what you waiting for?....

yup.. heard good reviews about that.. I'm converting my SUV so it could accomodate a Laptop and printer and go WI-FI.. if things are going well, might as well hook up a PS2 with monitors.

dehadista: Pa tingin naman setup up mo pag nagawa. hehehe

ILD: sure thing! ikaw ang mag-suggest ano pang gizmos ang pwedeng idagdag hehe.

actually nahihirapan akong maghanap ng Inverter to power this up.. it's been almost a month and I've scouring places to get a good inverter.

dehadista: Soundsystem? Subs, amplifiers, seps? Exacto may laptop ka, hook it up with the HU then play some mp3s.

hindi ko na kailangan ng IPOD pag ganyan.. heheh kaso malakas sa battery ng laptop. kailangan palaging naka-on and naka-plug sa inverter.. heheh

bro, i found this while browsing thru ebay philippines. you might want to check it out. It says that the inverters are shipped from taiwan and varies from 2,000 to 6,000watts.

Wala po bang nabibiling plug para sa laptop connected sa cigarette lighter? I was also planning on this project. Hassle kasi laptop batt 2 hours lang tapos na.

[glntVR]

Sir ungas meron pero sa US nabili yung dad ko na yun parang socket na parang sa bahay. Don't know kung meron dito. Since sa US nabili 110V ang output nya. Pero i think ok naman sa laptops since multivoltage mga saksakan nun.

[Ungas]

Pwedeee 100-240W yung mga laptop adapters, pero nagtanong ako dito sa computer shops wala daw.

[nicolodeon]

Wala akong nakita sa atin Pinas nyan eh. Yung sa office, sa ang HQ namin sa Baltimore pa ang bumili. Nag-hahanap din ako for personal use.

Yung sa office, ganito ($ 25-35)



Pero yung hiahanap ko eh parang ganito



Yung adaptor sa taas, for laptop talaga. Yung sa ibaba, for PDAs at Laptops.

[Ungas]

Ayos yung Vector power inverter, di ba pwedeng bilhin ko yung galing sa office nyo, hehehe?

[nicolodeon]

Balak ko ngang kulimbatin kapag umalis na yung expat na gumagamit.

Eto, okay din. Sa U.K. daw ito nabibili sabi nitong kasama ko diton Briton. Mayron daw sya sa kanila.



Sabi nya, may surge protectio at static protection pa daw ito. Kahit daw mag short cirtucit yung electricals sa tsikot, masasalo nito para dehins masira yung laptop.

Anyway, ganun din naman ata yung Vector sa office. Hindi ko nga lang alam kung may protection sa short circuit.

meron nyan dito! nakabili na ko a few months back lang, made in china nga lang. sa diy shop yata
problema ko rin dati yan laptop adapter. hirap maghanap, nagpabili na lang ako sa us. bago dumating yung order ko nakakita ako dito. mura pa nyan, wala pa 800 pesos. ang selection nyan from 16-21 volts yata. ginagamit ko na sa ibm t20 ko pag nasa job site.

Ungas, I use a power inverter I bought from alexan (most SM stores have Alexan). Nabili ko P2,000. Laptop ko P4 1.6GHz, nka auto volt na powersupply. No problem.

[Ungas]

O nga pala no, thanks for the tip. Subukan ko pumunta ng SM North EDSA. Dun ko kasi nakita yung branch nila dati. Ilan capacity nung power inverter mo?

[wildthing]

300watts sa label. Pero palagay ko 150-200watts lang. Sa XDA charger ko medyo weird, minsan mag-overload siya (merun naman internal circuit breaker) so kinakailanga ko pang i-on-off yung power switch ng inverter para macorrect. Sa laptop walang kaproble-problema.

Ideally i-unplug or i-off mo yung inverter unit before starting the vechicle. Kundi kasi ganun, minsan mag-trip off ito to overload.

Sa SM Megamall nasa 5th floor ang Alexan, sa SM North nasa ibaba ng Carpark (sa likod) along with the computer sections. Sa Divisoria ang main nila sa El Cano St.
