Where to find the right power supply for Pentium 2 board?
Pentium 2 usually uses standard ATX. Can you provide some more info on the board? Maybe a picture?
If it does use standard ATX you'll be fine with any modern PSU.
If it uses some different connector like AT or some Dell pinout there are solutions as well 😀

Whilst that is technically correct, P2 would be heavy on the 5v rail would it not?
A lot of modern ATX supplies have weak 5v rails due to the shift towards 12v after the P4 introduced the supplementary 4-pin 12v plug for CPU VRM supply.
Just ensure that whatever you do use has a suitably powerful 5v rail.
Most modern PSU will still provide 15 to 18A for 5V. For any P2 this will be more than sufficient.
A P2-300 Klamath had a top of 43W. That is 9A.
2A for the motherboard
Then 1A for any add-on card and drive, say 6A .
This adds up to 17A at max. And there's no way you're going to max out all these at once.
Besides, the P3-300 had the highest tdp by far.
If you take any Dechutes, the 450 has the highest TDP, 28W. That's under 6A.
I'd go with any decent modern PSU without hesitation.
The biggest challenge will be the molex connectors.
