Ok here's the deal; I'm going to run 2 172W pelt on my cpu with a dedicated psu, so far so good. And I'm going to use a 156W peltier on my gpu, the thing is that the psu for the 2 172W peltiers can't handle it. So my thought is to buy a Antec TC 550W and let it run the 156W pelt AND the rest of the pc. The 156W pelt is a 16V 16A pelt which I'm giong to give 12V instead from the Antec psu, could the TC handle both my pc and the 156W@~120W (or something like that)?? I have a spare 340W cheiftec psu that I could use for the 156W but I rather wouldn't have 3 psu's in my system.

I would not recomend running the 156W TEC at the same psu as the computer bescue 12A (It should draw 12A @ 12V) is much.
So it's probably better if you run it at your cheiftec 340W PSU.
What kinda PSU are you running the 172W TEC's on?

Ok, then i'll know. It's a custom made psu just for those two babies ;)
