Brabus and Koenig does this kind of stuff.

It is a really big work to do this alone. I have installed a PC in my car with an LCD screen. I used an inverter directly connected to the battery. The LCD is a bit more tricky to install as it needs very high voltage when turned on. I would recommand you to check out some LCD that are specially made for 12V (so no needs to solder and add some extra electronic parts) and has a VGA and S-Video input. I have no idea how neatly you can install an LCD in a head rest... Ask Brabus or Koenig if they sell only headrests with built-in LCD.
You might have a problem with the fax machine because it is not going thru a cell phone. What about using the PC as a fax machine (the PC would have cell-phone +sattelite connection)? And have a printer to print out faxes (you will have to buy a strong and powerfull inverter...).

Hope this helps, flypside will certainly better explain this for you

I would suggest you visit a high end Car Audio store as there are a number of very reputable 12volt lcd screens now available for this exact function.I recently saw even a pc for the car that will do wonders, at the Consumer Electronic Show in Vegas.
The PC is made by Clarion and you can have navigation,communication etc going thru this unit.This is the hottest 12 volt industry's
gadget this year.With the LCD screens you can even have DVD movies playing thru it.
Good luck and make sure you choose a reputable dealer for this job as i have seen some butchers with extremly bad wiring habits in this industry.Better yet make sure the shop has Mobile Electronics certified installers.
