Oh neat, sounds pretty cool. Is there a hackaday project page or similar? Is it an ATX PSU or something else?

And I'm not up to date on modern electrical design, but a satellite-view on industry innovations & trends would be interesting.

Goal is to make it [optionally] smart, compact, modular, and ATX compatible. Hopefully with just the newer 12V standard. My original motivation for the project was lack of SMBus/PMBus support on desktops (on a laptop, it's the battery controller that allows you to see power usage).

I'll make a Hackaday page. So far I've got:

I just started putting myself out there. I have material queued up that I need to edit and I need to pick out the good parts for blog posts. I've started acquiring components for the prototypes. Sadly it's slow going, HW prototyping is kind of expensive for me right now. My design progress is way ahead of what I've actually documented and I need to start documenting so it looks better.

After some searching I've found that Supermicro is selling ATX power supplies with SMBus (hopefully PMBus really) connection in reasonable price but never had one and I'm not able to find any review.
