Yes, I should have mentioned that fact too. I used an external power supply for mine along with a neat little relay that you plugged the external power supply's motherboard connector into and then plugged any power cable from the SFF PC into the relay also. So when you turned on the PC, it also turned on the external power supply and off as well. It was a neat setup.

But then I came across a Dell Workstation 5820 on eBay that has an i9-10900X 3.70 Ghz Zeon 10 core CPU and 4 PCIe slots with two 8 pin PCIe power connectors. The 950 watt PSU has more than enough juice and the case has plenty of room for my two RTX 3060's with 12GB vram each. For $350, I thought it was a great deal. The seller still looks like they have plenty of these units left. I may buy another one.
