I managed to grab an Intel Server System S2600GL4 Motherboard (https://ark.intel.com/products/56254) and 2x Xeon E5-2640 processors for it. I was planning to attach a Sapphire Radeon R9 270X 4GB graphics card to it as well (please let me know if there's a reason why I shouldn't/can't), to have a hybrid gaming machine/machine for 24/7 programs, file hosting, etc.
However, I'm not sure what power supply I need, or more specifically, how to connect it.

The recommended power supply is a DPS 750xb A, which is a redundant power supply. The board requires a 2x25 Power Card Edge connector, and I'm not sure what this is, or how to connect the power supply. I see that the chassis this was designed for has a housing for the DPS 750 xb power supply, but I haven't been able to locate a cheap chassis for this, and I'm not sure how to even begin to search for the redundant PSU housing.
Is there any way to use a desktop PSU, or is there a way to find this PSU housing without the rest of the case?
Thanks!
