Everything inside your computer (beyond the power supply) runs on DC.
With a DC supply, capable of generating 5 and 12 volts, you don't need anything else.
You can power a 19 volt laptop from 2 car batteries for many days on end. All you need is a LM7809,
9V??? How does that work? Did you mean LM7806?
which will set you back $1.95 plus shipping.
You're a lousy shopper. :-D My semicon source only gets $0.71 for those, if I only want quantity of one: http://www.mouser.com/Search/Refine.aspx?Keyword=LM7809 -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
