Yes, I would also guess you want a Pico Psu.

One of my builds here at home use such a thing from Akasa, a rather reliable little cheap unit.

My Gaming PC: 27833

Pico PSU is what the term is called and the highest wattage is like 200ish watts.

But when I researched it, I think you could use a couple or a few.

I remember seeing desktop people using two regular sized psu's, just gotta make sure they are grounded properly.

Dayyummmmm I see 400W they got now WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! for $95 buckaroons!

300W is $78 https://www.hdplex.com/hdplex-internal-300w-ac-dc-adapter-with-active-pfc-and-19vdc-output.html

Why, just why?!
There are a couple of low power Boards that have something similar integrated like an Asrock AM1 board (the most expensive one I think), those ones are trustworthy, Pico PSU are not. They are just way too small to be of any use...

And that is the reason why no "named brand" ever uses those!

 

They use much larger open frame modules like Antec does in their ISK110....
