running mini-tft and mobo off same psu?

[spacedog]

We're working on a litle project, got a nice little 17cm intel mobo picked out and a few other bits and bobs.
Now I was planning on using a pico psu with a 60w power brick running into the mains, then I realised I had more or less forgotten about the tft. We haven't picked one out yet, but it's going to be small, maybe 6 or 7 inches at most.
I could simply stick another power brick in there but seeing as this unit has an external controller device, this will mean the whole unit has 3 power bricks in all. Not ideal.

Has anyone ever run a mobo and a small tft off the same power brick? is it just as simple as putting in a splitter jack or are there other precautions required?

I reckon it would be feasible to run the two devices off the one 9v output but these scars tell me I've been wrong in the past

this?

Hi, I've been looking about and thinking of maybe going for this mobo as it has lvds

also, it's got a few other features that would be very nice

however I've been having trouble finding any kind of straightforward info on lvds. Am I right in thinking that it would draw power from the vga port? no hang on, that doesn't make sense, maybe you plug the power cable into the board somewhere? Also does it have to be a specific sort of monitor?

any advice greatly appreciated

it's for a home project with a view to making more if it works out. Thanks to the info, I'm off to hassle some carputer folks now
