Have you seen the newer PICO DC-DC ATX PSU's? Input range from 6v-26V and as well as the small form factor they also produce minimal heat. Have been running a couple of newer VIA boards with fanless 1GHz CPU's with these in a sealed enclosure just to see how much stick the set-up would take and so far I haven't been able to crash the system. Think I need to add more heat to the environment ;)
