Below the 70+/- range you will need to look hard.
I found one for 15, saw some a month ago for 35~40...but you need to be there when they pop up.
good luck

doesn't matter (they are gone) as when you find a really good deal they only last for a few hours/days...sorry, you will just have to look around and hope or pay 70 or so.

I paid $40 for my 36 amp 5-17 volt adjustable with guages off of ebay. Just kept checking for 3 weeks.

I've used a plain simple 300Watt ATX psu to supply my 156W peltier the necessary juice :)

just take a female molex connection from some crap fan you have around, take the yellow wire, and the black one directly beside it, cut the other wires off, and take the TEC and twist the yellow wire to the red wire, and the black to the black wire.
take two wire nuts and twist them on nice and tight and there you go, power to your TEC from a plain power supply.
not perfect, but then again it will get you by till you can find a good deal or just break down and buy it for full price.
I have a 172 for my videocard working like this.
it's a pretty ghetto setup, but it works for now, till I can get a Meanwell one sometime after the Geforce FX comes out and the mods are around ;)
