I don't think I'll do it even if it's going to work, but I'm still wondering.
What about using a linear PSU for the computer, like ones used in amplifiers, and basically all analog equipment?
Transformer, rectifier bridge, filtering capacitors, stabilizer circuit - seems feasible enough. Enough quality for analog, and reliable as a rock. From what I know of electronics, it seems feasible enough. The issue could probably be proper stabilization, due to high currents involved. Maybe a preliminary voltage stabilizer could solve input power issue?
Also, are there any other problems?

Mostly out of academic interest.
Efficiency... Well, a decent transformer-rectifier-capacitor block can reach efficiency of 95%. Stabilizer has to offset it, but devices with linear PSU use fans only when pumping really high loads. So it shouldn't be bad, or at least worse than usually.
