I am planning a fun weekend but we are not sure we will have a 110v power source nearby. Just in case I decided it may be a good idea to use a APC battery backup and parallel more batteries together for a longer run time. Also in the same unit I could have a 12 volt charger to charge batteries. Once I come back I will just have a really buffed up battery backup ready to use. I am going to use two small computer cases , industrial drawer handles , rolling casters ect. These are the donors. The idea is to power a few laptops / net books all day which are wattage anyways.

Dunning-Kruger's Is There A Halloween Contest This Year?
I thought I would lighten things up around here by giving you all a sneak peek of my possible Halloween contest...
Here is the guts if the 600 watt APC. Simple right? I will just need to hookup outlets in the back of the case.
I will mount this as high and out of the way as possible...
The transformer looks like it would fit well in the 3.5 inch HD caddy.
OK I'm epoxying the wheels tot he bottom of the case. Once its dry I will predrill the holes and feed machine screws from the inside out and secure with a nut.
I went with these heavy duty door pulls rated at 150 pounds , they are rolled steel and light for their size. I like the ergonomic feel that they have with no sharp edges.
I gave the case a flat brown base all over the case.
I'm letting Alequa come up with a pattern for the portable battery power supply. He's still using the same colors though.
