You need to leave the PC supply outside the case.

You need to use an older style supply, not one of the new ones that is
turned on and off by the mainboard.

You need to get a set of connector pins as you would find on the original
supply.

The rest is a job for an electronics tech.

It works very nicely because a PC supply is designed to deliver these
sorts of currents very happily.
