Do they exist? Could I mod one into existence? I'm looking for super ultra space saving.

Just a guy who peaked at building back in the days of the GTX 980. If you see me here, assume i have technical knowledge akin to a committed hobbyist builder back then. If something's changed, you'll need to tell me(nicely plz). I'm probably asking for help with the modern build scene since I have no clue what's going on.

Just take a normal PSU. Take it out of the case. Bam. Problem solved.

pulling your PSU out of your system IS NOT GOING TO SAVE SPACE!

my bad

unless you have an ultra low power system and you want to use a power brick or picoPSU, you will not be saving any space...

What if I just have a super tiny case... Like unimaginably small... Cuz I do in this random challenging theoretical build I'm planning. Just go with it.

OK. Get a USB powered PSU.

Jk

You can use a regular one outside the case, or look for a very small one internal one for the same purpose.
