I'm using a fairly crappy triple-output open-frame Autec supply from  
Marlin P. Jones that was $13. I'm not recommending it, but it works.  
My antenna is an active patch type by Hawk that runs off +5V from the  
TBolt. It has a magnetic base for top of vehicle use. I've got it  
feeding two GPSDOs thru a splitter and it's working great. I got it  
from Synergy for $35 if I remember correctly -- been a while. I've  
got it duct taped to a 2x4 sticking our from under the eave of my  
lab. Most any active antenna will likely work OK outdoors, but I  
don't know about indoors -- think you'll want some higher gain version.
