Depends on your setup. If you are doing a CarPC... if you're power supply has the extra overhead, you can just run one of the 12v rails available for HDD, CD/DVD, etc. and run the screen from that or some CarPC power supplies have a separate rail specifically for screen or USB hubs.
If you are running a different setup or just want to power your screen up front... sorry... i can't help there. But Rotary Rasp or one of the other who have already installed their CarPC probably can help there.

Someone mentioned gauges and the scananalyzer ?
The screen can be powered from the power supply of the PC, or from the fuse box, or from one of the cigar lighters. All of them are fairly easy solutions:
- pick a 12V supply from the PC power supply and extend it
- tap into the thick solid green wire (constant 12V) going to the 30A fuse in the fuse box and time the Hard-Off of the screen
- tap into the two wires (12V switched and ground) from one of the cigar lighters.

It has to be somewhere, and I dont feel like tapping the wrong wires ...
