here it is, never posted a link here so if it doesnt work, cut and paste. what is a "tank curcuit" the p/s has a smart controller with jumpers that let it stay on all the time (in hibernation) or shut off after 30 sec after the ign. is turned off. there are many settings on this little thing.

m1-atx
i tried two different ones, it wont let me link to them?

just go to ebay and type in m1-atx and it will list all the feature in the auctions. does everything it claims!

 

the link didn't work.. I just cut and paste the address.

Tank Circuit is for us inverter users. It uses a separate 12v battery and a solonoid that disconnects it from the main batteries when the vehicle cranks. It prevents the voltage dip that would cause an inverter to power off and subsequently power off the computer.
I like the M1-ATX. Very nice and inexpensive. I will look into purchasing one soon. I will have to verify if it will work with my motherboard. Thanks for the info.

 

Very interesting thread. Do you have any pictures of the install?

 

I can try to post progress photos this afternoon. Completion is soon...

 

Photos are posted to my gallery.

Currently I am waiting on my new monitor to be shipped. The old one was defective and had to return it under warranty.
The dash bezel is 1/8" aluminum plate hand shaped, and I will be installing new push buttons for startup of the inverter and Computer (the ones installed suck).
I did not photograph the amp or the power supply, as mentioned earlier, they are mounted behind and under the back seat.

I will work on a DIY for this project once it is complete.
