Automotive ATX Power Supplies with a desktop

I have been debating on either using an Intelligent Automotive ATX Power Supply or a dc/ac converter and using my desk top power supply.

My question is, can one of the automotive power supplies, such as the M2-ATX 160W or OPUS 120, be used on a desktop motherboard? The MB I plan to use is a GIGABYTE GA-M61SME-S2 AM2 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard.

I see that they use a 20 pin ATX MB power cable, and my MB uses a 24 pin. I could use an adapter for that. I also have an 80 gig sata HD and an IDE dvd drive that will go into the system. This is from my old desktop. I just built a new amd dual core so I could use the old pc for my truck.

Thanks in advance.
