It could work. Probably the best way to do it would be with a power inverter to convert the 12v power to 115v. To find out how large of an inverter you would need, add the wattage of the computer and the flat screen. You might have to take the cover off of the computer to see how many watts the power supply uses.

Other than the computer taking up space and the wires making a mess, I would be concerned about the hard drive crashing if you hit a chuck hole when the computer is on.
