Have you tried a normal PC power supply; I think there is a way to fudge them to believe a motherboard is connected.

That's the ticket.

But there is one gotcha with this -- some PSUs won't operate or don't operate well with no or very low load (they need like 1-5% of rated current, minimum). So check the voltages with no load, if all seems well, good! otherwise, throw a 12V light bulb on the output and that should make it behave.
