I know this seems a little dated but maybe it could help.

You might check pcpowerandcooling.com or powerstream.com
They seem to have power supplies for your MOBO that can be fed directly
from +12v without the losses of using an inverter before the power
supply. If you can run everything from one or two power systems you
are better off than having to invert then re-regulate it all back down
to working voltages.

Just my opinion...
