Yeah. $99 will give you 100 watts. Take apart a transformer, add some
transistors, a resistor, and a cap and there you have it. your own $10
inverter that makes 100 watts.
Christmas lights aren't that sensitive so the lack of a "good" inverter
circut won't hurt anything. Most PSs today are good anyway. I alaways
power my computer off of 2 microwave transformers and I've never had
problems.
