We often get asked if you can successfully run a standard desktop computer whilst on the road. The short answer is yes PROVIDED you use an LCD monitor simply because they use far less power than a cathode ray type conventional monitor. Harry and Trish Godley, Queenslanders from the CMCA Road Runners chapter have a rather unique set up using a combined computer monitor/TV linked to a normal desktop computer. Harry made the brackets and the set drops down from the ceiling. When not in use it is hidden from view using a push in cover (important as LCD sets are prime targets for would be thieves). Harry has this mounted close to the dinette so the screen is easy to see. A neat trick was using a Logictech infra red keyboard. This meant that no leads at all are on the working table. You can now get LCD/TVs from as low as $575.00 from Dick Smiths etc. The only thing to watch is vertical viewing angle. Some become EXTREMELY dark when viewed at an upwards angle as so often can happen in a motorhome. This is a zero problem if you can adjust the angle of the set. LG for instance only allow this in the tilt to the back position. In our own case this has caused us a lot of grief as we bought an LG well before anyone had reviewed it.
