You'll also find it difficult to air cool the hot side of a 150W pelt: 80W has been found to be the upper limit, under air cooling.
You might want to read Kev's article:

(btw, he didn't clamp it right, but you'll get the meaning either way).

If I use a normal ATX power supply how do I turn it on since it isnt attached to anything? (no motherboard etc.) I am planning to house the pelts, pump, resevoir in another case. Is this recommended?

As long as the PSU can deliver the current that's required, you'll be OK. Usually, a single PSU can't do it, hence the other article, about hooking up 2 PSUs together.
You're a long way from getting there: keep at it.
