Default Power Supply Mania!!!

Ok so here are my Questions:

If anyone out there is running a Peltier with a computer power supply such as a 500w or higher what types of temps are you guys getting?


I'm debating on running a 176w pelt on either a Mean Well supply $118 or something a little cheaper such as a 550w supply off of ebay. Is the GAIN significant enough when using a more quality supply such as the Mean Well as opposed to some GENERIC computer power supply?

Edit: i'm thinking of using something along these lines http://pcpartusa.com/2003/powersupply/550CWT/ps3.jpg
