www.dangerden.com . all the pelts ive got from them have been great thgey also sell a really nice meanwell 5inch bay psu for the pelt . are you cooling a cpu with it ?? cause if you are id suggest a 226watt pelt if your setup can handle it . you want to use at least double the watts that you cpu puts out .

if your using your psu youll need to put a molex on it . id highly suggest a seperate psu for the pelt . just be sure to get enought power to the pelt if it doesnt get enought power or you put to much heat on it with out removing heat from the hot side you could kill your cpu .

A second PSU is basically a necessity for a peliter setup, unless you have a 550watt beast that can support it (even then I'd feel better with a Power Supply fully dedicated to the peltier. You can use a variety of methods to make both power supplys come on at the flip of a single switch. Such as using a relay or simply wiring them together. Check out some of the things this guy suggests for wiring the PSU.

 

Good luck with the peltier, although it sounds like you may have some second thoughts after hearing this news. Go for it man, it'll cost a little more money for an extra PSU, but the benifits will be amazing :)

basically a peltier is a plate that transfers heat from one side to the other via electicity aka thermo- electric cooling the cold side goes on the cpu die the hot side need a great heatsink and fan or better yet a water block to carry or dissapate the heat
