pelts and psu's


im not planning on running a pelt now but i will in the future so im getting the maze3-1 so i have everything needed. what im confused about it the pelt/psu relationship. ive always been under the impression that you could run a 220w pelt from a seperate atx psu. was i wrong? will an enhance or sparkle 300/350w atx psu have what it takes to run a 220w pelt or would i need a "special" psu?

for one thing you shouldn't run it from the same psu as your mobo.. unless you have one hell of a psu. check the +12v rated output (and get wats from 12v*rated amperage)from the side of the psu.. or better yet, buy/loan a multimeter and a 220w pelt and check how low the +12 drops, if the psu can handle it the voltage won't drop too much, i ran my poor ~60-70w from old psu i had around.. it handled it better than one other that had more rated output..
