    I'm trying to find a good [but cheap] car adapter for my Dell Inspiron 8100. I'm having a hard time finding one for sale, let alone something I can afford. I was looking on ebay, but its hard to ensure that they'll work for my laptop. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Or, for $30 you can get a inverter to convert DC to AC (Thats cig lighter to household right?) and thats what I plan on doing.

    I got a 1000watt inverter, so I'm set, hehe.

    Also, with the inverter, it can be more then your laptop. :)

    $80 is pretty cheap compared to dell.com, but I think the $30 inverter would be a lot better! Now I just have to find one I can buy...

    //Later//
    I got an inverter off of ebay for $15! w00t w00t!
