Is there a power supply unit that accepts 12v input instead of the standard 120v or 240v?

Another issue I'm encountering is that if this gaming PC is powerful enough, it requires approximately 400-500W all-in to operate at full capacity. That's a significant amount of current to manage for 12V.
Search for a small device that includes a power supply with car adapters. Alternatively, consider handhelds such as the Legion Go or ROG Ally, which can be paired with a cheap USB C adapter on Amazon. Since your requirements weren't detailed, I'll assume you're not using a 12v battery for your desktop.
This is the kind of experience I gained when others told me "you can't do that," but I already proved them wrong!
As a teenager mother, I often neglected to pay the electric bill. It took me about an hour to restore some normalcy until power came back on.
I also upset the electric company, but received an apology once the technician left.
I owned a black and white TV powered by AC/DC, two car brake light bulbs, and a car battery placed on the patio.
We connected everything to the battery, and we managed to look like ordinary people just watching TV.
Then we experienced a loud bang at the front door—the electric company came demanding access to the meter in the back yard, warning me I’d be jailed for tampering with their lockout.
After five minutes, the person thanked me for bothering them and left in a shameful manner.
I’ve researched that DC to DC converter, but it’s quite expensive.
My current setup is fully solar off-grid, powering four gaming PCs and the fridge using a pure sinewave inverter with AGM batteries during sunlight. At night, I switch back to grid power.
I live in the city, not a rural area.
Even though I moved, I still own the entire system, which I’ll reassemble when rebuilding it.
The key part of your project is figuring out how to supply 120v after using a DC to DC power supply or inverter to keep the battery running under demand.
