I have a normal 24 pin PSU output (5 cm x 0.8 cm),

but my motherboard has 2x time smaller 24 pin input (3.5cm x 0.5cm).

What adapter do I need, and how are these connections called?

Motherboard is from Dell OptiPlex 760 SFF

Unfortunately, you are dealing with a proprietary machine that uses a non-standard ATX power supply connector that is smaller to fit in the very small size case. What I am told is that the unit does use a regular ATX connector, but it is a small version, meaning the wiring is the same as the ATX, but the plug is non-standard or reduced in size.

Therefore, regardless of what ATX power supply you use, it won't fit the motherboard plug, unless you get the slimline power supply. I am not aware of an adapter that will work in this instance.

The OEM Dell power supply that supports this board goes for about $50.

Any idea why? Maybe it would be possible to wire corresponding wires and make homemade adapter, but this already sounds like crazy talk to me :)

You have 3 options

1) buy the dell power supply
2) buy a new mothebroad
3) take the old power supply power cable, and a 24pin atx extension cable, get a wiring diagram for the special dell connector and make your own adapter cable. (this is assuming wires are the same just need to be in a different order).
