| thermo electrice cooler- it uses current to make one side hot, one side cool- Comes in different watt ratings (226,120,80) and requires a hell of a good seperate powersupply and cooling system- NOT for the beginner- read this- http://www.digit-life.com/articles/peltiercoolers/ Tipicaly, if you had a Xp 2400, you would need ATLEAST a 226w peltier watercooled- Also check outs swiftechs site for air cool peltiers-

hi, you mentioned a separate PSU. now is that dedicated to the peltier? and how does one go about using 2 PSUs in one system? i always thought that one psu connected to the one PSU connector on the mobo. can one mobo control two PSUs? how does all that work btw? thanks, barneygumble742

| Well, the seperate powersupply is not a normal ATX powersupply, as the peltier requires 25+ amps JUST to the 12v line. Most computer powersupplies have a total output of 30amps over the 12v, 5v and 3v lines and cant run a peilter + motherboard/cpu due to the high amp draw- Most people setup a relay, where when you turn on your pc, the 12v current trips a cicuit, turning on the seperate powersupply- this relay has connections for a 12v line from the atx powersupply, and the 120v line from the wall outlet, and the 120v line to the powersupply- It can be bough at radioshack for $10 ish- great thing! www.Swiftnets.com has some great examples of this- (edit) heres a air and water versions of this tec, and powersupply- air: http://www.swiftnets.com/products/mcx4000-T.asp water: http://www.swiftnets.com/products/mcw5000-PT.asp
