I had a 400watt inverter that I got from Sams club about a year ago and it fried itself friday night. It blew the fuse on the car and didn't seem to harm the notebook so I'm assuming I got off lucky there. Nothing like trying to change a fuse in the dark at some service area on the NJ turnpike.
I got one of those $35 300peak/125normal inverters from Walmart. I noticed it doesn't have a fan which is either good or bad.


Anyways, what's the best inverter for a car that will put out at least 80 watts normal power? Or is what I got fine?

I only got it on Saturday, it seemed to work ok on the drive home, but we only used it for about an hour or so of the drive.
