Do they make 12 volt DC power supplies to run a desktop computer off a
car battery? Or is an inverter required?
Of course I know an inverter would still be needed for the monitor....
I'm just looking for a way to run a computer when I am at a cabin
without electric service. Maybe it would be better to get a laptop,
but thought I'd ask....

I think it's possible because of things like voltage doublers. I vaguely
recall maybe seeing posts about them. If so, they were not mainstream,
but you could guess that.

Or maybe get a generator and some good filtering.

I would ask in other groups too, like maybe (sci.electronics.basics).
