I've just been looking at the Raspberry Pi device set to come out next month, which runs on a 5v USB power supply. I was planning on testing this as a base for an in car computer, but I need to sort out the power supply. Has anyone wired a USB hub directly in to the 12v rail before?

It will be an interesting test base for Centrafuse linux edition as well. Plus... it supports component video out, which saves me a bit of hassle.

Thoughts please.
