Hehe, it's funny, I got it for free when I bought a cheap computer at an auction. I had to buy batteries for it, got them at www.batteries.com cheap. Too bad it's 24v, because if it were 12v it would make a very nice power inverter for my van!

It powers my PC, monitor, speakers, printer, scanner, and 300W halogen lamp for 45 minutes.
