Thanks. Though I think it'll be unnecessary now. I may pick up a generic 400W PSU for my machina and use the Antec 480W I just picked up for the pelt (alone). It pulls 12V/22A, so I'll be good, there, and it's dual fan cooled to boot. I may end up going that way, but after doing some research into the type (and worse, number) of resistors I'd need, I think it would be easier to just do it that way. I'd still be at around 80% max load or so, so I think I'll be fine. Thanks for the reply, though, and I'll let you know how it goes if I end up going that way.

On the lines of the fan, couldn't you just use any fan with a speed reader on it (like a cpu fan)? Just hack it onto the box? I think it would be silly for a manufacturer to use proprietary tech on something as insignificant as a fan.
