Is it possible to bypass the power supply on a tower pc gaming rig to where you are able to power your motherboard Grafix car hard drives directly off a single 12v car battery with something like this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NY2ZM77/ref=psdc_1161760_t5_B07RRZ5LRD and other components or is it impossible even for linustechtips?

How much power is the PC drawing?
What are the specs?

I assume if the DC power supply is powerful enough there shouldn't be a problem. though I'm not an expert so I would google around and see if someone has done something similar.

why no dark mode?

computers are dc powered so effectively they can run off of batteries that are the correct voltage just fine. You actually don't even need any sort of circuit between the batteries and components so long as theres enough batteries in the correct voltage
