many dells the best idea is to get a lind car adaptor for it, then you could also get a second smaller atx supply that includes a startup/ shutdown controller & power anything else you add, screen, drives, hubs etc... but you might spend $150-$200 on just power supplies that way, if you want you can start with just the lind & wire a switch to start it in the begining, then add to it later... the lind will charge the battery too, if that's not an issue then you may be able to get an even cheaper car adaptor, depending on the voltage required it may be possible to run it off a carnetix power supply too which is cool, one supply for everything with startup/ shutdown, but again, all options b3sides a lind adaptor won't charge the battery on most dells... you have a few options really, depends what else you plan on adding too...
there is no reason to get a dock, wire straight to the board.
