Use with 12V Solar system in Africa

[Monica]

Hi there,

A couple questions:
1. Can the system be run straight off a 12 V battery?
2. Are there any monitors you know of that can be run off the usb drive or straight off a 12 V battery?
It would be running off a solar system in a remote village in Africa, I'm also interested in the robustness and if maintenance issues are common.

Thanks,
Monica

2. Yes. See for example www.fit-pc.co.uk

hi
the final power of 10w pc is fit that includes CPU, hard disk, and everything needed to operate,
with 10W power I can do work?

[irads]

Yes. System will consume no more than 10W. It is usually recommended for the power supply to have at least 50% margin - power supply of 15W or more recommended.
