It's just that the peltier (even 80W only) is going to take up ALL of the 18A available on that 12V rail. So I will be using my Thermaltake Purepower 400W for that.
That leaves me with a 500W from a barebone kit (not a reliable PSU -- not even a name brand) and a 5 year old PSU from an old Compaq system which is 200W (It has about 7A on the 12V rail LOL)(again not a very powerful PSU).
Actually I might just leave the ThermalTake Purepower as is for my main computer and the other crappy brands for the TEC, water pump and video card. Going to be doing some overclocking so I want those extra spare power. Hmm I am not even sure if that 200W PSU for the video card and water pump will work out, I might just power the water pump and power the Vid card from the main computer's PSU (Thermaltake 400W)

Can I use a 50 Ohm resistor to trick the 5v rail and 3.3v rail that it has a load on it ?
