Beauty of PC - if you're OK with switching regulators (and you seemingly are, since you're using Mac),...

... then an inexpensive device like picoPSU or nanoPSU will do EXACTLY what's discussed here. Single 12V feed (from quality linear PS, of course), multiple voltage outputs. Rather standard part for custom audio builds, since not everyone wants to go the route of linear ATX PSU DIY craziness.

Of course, you shouldn't really feed everything from it - and, unlike Macs, you don't have to. Best sonic results are achieved with feeding only MB from picoPSU, with CPU getting its own linear 12V, HD/SSD their own 12V/5V etc.
