For the testing stages I am at I'll be happy with an inverter for the moment. A DC regulator assumes you're using a voltage lower than the 12 VDC input, which we're not here.

One worry I have is that we are all basing our plans on what the Mac Mini power supply is delivering.... perhaps we should hold our horses and find out what the Mac Mini itself is expecting/needs in the way of input power spec. I e-mailed Apple a few days ago and have had no answer yet.
