I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

It might be a supplemental power supply.

Doesn't the case have a spot for a normal power supply? It should.

You won't find one like that I'm afraid. Even if you did, it would probably be cheaper to get a cheap case and budget 500w psu
