    Its called ATX standards. Part of the backward compatible legacy known to PCs. They tend to keep power supplies the same form factor as they have for years for interchangeability. I can still get an off-the-shelf PS for a 10 year old computer if need be.

    PCs do have smaller form factor supplies. Look for the mini-ATX standard, or what you commonly find in mini/shuttle PCs.
