"whats the max wattage peltier that I could use with a 550watt enermax,and run my system" - I believe the Enermax PSU you refer to has 33-amps @ 12-volts in which case you could certainly run a 26-amp peltier from it.

Enermax also produce a more powerful unit with 38-amps @ 12volts.

There is another option.. Take an ATX PSU and use it to power the TEC separately from the computer. You will need an inexpensive ATX starter in order to do this (email me if you want to find out more info).

We currently use a separate ATX to power our peltier and the ATX starter sends a start/stop signal to ensure the TEC runs only when the computer is switched-on!
