jason, go to mpja.com, go to 3 output and 4 output supplies, and look at the 5v 60a one (it's under 3 or 4) it is $40, and has some other voltages too. Buy 3 of them, and run them at 15v, 60a

300 watts!! Good heavens, what do you need THAT much power for? I can just see a little sibbling/couson/dumb neighbor licking the 2 live lines just to see if it works.

ZAAAPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!! OUCH!!

I'm telling you, you are going to quickly become your local power company's favorite customer pulling all that juice. Personally I would look into a phase change system rather than soemthing like this, but thats just me. Good luck man, DO NOT forget about condensation prevention.

heh, an oven uses much much more power. You just need to use phase change to cool the top of the pelts
