    in general power inverters are cheaper than dedicated power supplies, plus you can use them to run other stuff. I got a 400W inverter from pepboys for like $20.

    Just make sure the inverter that you get supplies as much wattage as the power supply requires.

    I really hate that it's cheaper to go DC->AC->DC than it is to just voltage-transform the DC to the correct amount, but it is.
