You can take it from anywhere except the from the isolation transformer to the monitor.

Normally they have a fused lead from a bank of fuses just off the filter capacitor.

Wire it up by soldering off the main power cord's first connection is a good place. If it ever goes down you know it's getting power from the cord that way.
