Hi Guys

I am enjoying some of the discussions on the list at the moment and it triggered my next question.

I will be installing the solar panels and battery bank this week along with power points for laptops and charging iPhones/ipads etc. However, because of the power consumption this probably excludes desktops. Although if someone knows of a low power monitor (12v) and possibly a low power pc then I might try to run a desktop machine.

That said, what I am looking to purchase is a laptop with twin hard drives, possibly small ssd drive with large hard drive for data storage and use this for a home file/media server.

Any thoughts on what machine please or suggestions on a different route please? Basically this is an experiment in how far you can live off-grid on a 12v - 36v system with as little input from 240v as possible.

Thanks for the thoughts/help.
