Hi Folks,

I'm thinking of embarking on a little water-chiller project. I'm dreaming up something similar to the Swifttech MCW-Chill.

Here's my first question: If I get 2 x 226w pelts - Can I run them off a standalone 450w PC power supply @ 12v ?

I'm planning on fixing some custom copper heatsinks to the "hot" sides of the Pelts, just how Hot should I expect it to get ? eg. 50c , 60c , 80c hiigher ?!?

The design in my head isnt final just yet, but if the consensus is that 226w Pelts iis "too big" I might settle for 2 blocks of 80w pelts in a similar config to the MCW-Chill.

What do you think ?
