It can be done. You just need to build a board with a series of parallel resistors to bring the power of the pelt down to 75% (where it is most efficient, anyways). I guess the only thing you'll want to do if you do this is make sure that the power supply is properly cooled, because it'll still be running at close to maximum capacity at all times ... it could overheat if left running too long, unless an extra fan was run across it, I suppose. But that's an easy thing to do.
