Talk about good timing. I was just wondering this week about doing something similar with a FlexATX PSU. Really interested in this..
If something like this gets standardized in consumer PC's someday, I can see a lot more people being comfortable sizing their own custom cables. I personally fear putting just a single cable in the wrong spot on the 24 pin. Cant imagine frying a thousand dollars in parts from that kind of mistake.
I'm sorry, but I don't seem to understand what's new about this constellation. Isn't it "just" a picoPSU fed by the 12V rails of a normal PSU? Or am I missing something?

Thanks for the explanation. So it's main goal is to get rid of the 24 cables. Is every sfx-PSU able to deliver al the current needed via one connection? Or do you need one with a single 12V rail?
If you hook up the same power button to both this PCB and the motherboard, you would be able to trigger both at the same time ?
In the case of my Supermicro embedded board, I could hook up the PSU to this PCB with only 3 wires (5vsb, PS_ON and GND) then the 8-Pin EPS to the motherboard ?
I'm not sure what you mean by that. You still need to hook up your cpu power and gpu power, which is how the computer gets most of the power.
Embedded boards need the power to always be there, usually. Does the embedded motherboard have a 5VSB and PS_on out? Those two are required to work with an Atx power supply.
The product you linked is more for using an ATX PSU as an alternative way of lowering 12V stuff, like mining rigs, 3d printers, laser systems, etc.
@Thehack Any news on this project? I'd love to buy one when they're ready
