A cheap car USB charger will work fine and the power usage is very modest (less than a watt) so just get a charger rated for at least 500mA (derating it since you'll be using it for continuous duty) and you should be good to go. As a bonus, it can also work as a NAS, though plan on using a larger converter (one designed for charging tablets should work nicely) if you're going to use a hard drive.
