Swiftech Peltier.. PSU good enough?


Hey Guys, I was thinking of getting that Peltier/hs combo from Swiftech with the tornado fan. I have a 420 (the dragon case..the cheap version of the antec.) Watt PSU with the normal stuff hooked up to it... 2 Case Fans... 2 CD rom, hard drive, no floppy, etc. Would that Power supply hold up to it? I could always disconnect my burner or something if its not enough power. I also have this old 250 watt laying around, could I some how dedicate to use that one?

I guess the main thing, will the 420 watt psu have enough power to power the 226 watt pelt that it comes with?

Thanks

Not even close... maybe an 80 wat pelt

Or does that setup come with it's own PS?

Doh, No it doesn't come with one. They have those separate ones, but those cost like 140 dollars or something, which is more than the whole thing costs. I just wanted to test a peltier out once, maybe ill just go buy a old celeron and get it a shot.

Thanks

i have my case enclosed, with air ducts leading in and out of the window 4 130 cfm fans pushin and pulling. the inside of the box is anywhere from 50f to 20f depending on the weather. im gonna try a 156 watt pelt with a swiftech 4000. with all that cold air blowing directly the cpu it might work. power for a big 226 watt is gonna take at least 2 decent generic power supplies in parrellel, diode isolated.with that kinda heat your gonna need a water cooler or its gonna burn.......... good luck
