In the past, when I needed reliable 12V (or 5V) I used one of thesethese:

Trim one of the SATA connectors, extend it a little by soldering your own wires to them, add some insulation (like heat shrink tube), find an available 4-pin molex connection in your PC and connect it, get the other end out of your PC trough an available fan vent (or you know, most cases have many places where you can get couple of wires out). Now you have nice, clean and stable 12V and 5V:

12V yellow-black
5V: red-black

or, if you have a spare laptop adapter, that provides about 19V of clean and stable power too.

Your pictures have been uploaded in such a small format that they don't expand when clicked upon, They would be a lot more useful if you upload them at a larger size and resolution.

You could use a cheap 12V mains brick to power the thing.
