Peltier PS

i have a meanwell s320-12 which takes 120v 6amp AC to run, and a antec true430 PS running my computer, anyone ever tried to power up a PS like the meanwell by using the computer PS?

or anyone have any idea's how i can set this up to run with 2 different supplys in the 1 system

You could try it but i wouldnt recomend it.

I would recomend it. That way if you forget, or someone else turns on your computer, there is now way for them to turn on the computer and not the pelt.

I am not sure how the on of on a meanwell works, but I am assuming it is just a switch on the main power line from the wall. What you need to do is make or buy a relay. A relay will work such that when you apply 5 or 12 or whatever voltage it needs, it will essentially turn on a switch. You connect it to your main psu and the meanwell, and whenever your main psu is on, the pelt will be on.

Wouldnt you need a real huge PSU then?

If you get the meanwell from swiftech it comes with the realy wired and ready to go. Not too hard to make one though. I always put my entire cooling system on a seperate psu from the hardware exept the case fans.
