I need a huge powersupply. Enormous. As in, get too close and die.

Basically, for a future computer, I'm going to have like 10 120mm 250CFM delta fans, dual 226 watt peltiers, dual system, tons of cold cathodes, etc. Basically a huge power hog. I'm going to need a seperate power supply alone for the peltiers plus the fans and lights and the system should get it's own dedicated PSU. I need a powersupply with a huge output. The largest that I have seen for ATX is an enermax 550 watt which isn't enough. Also, anyone know of a huge, non-fugly, black case that I could dump all this plus water cooling in?
 
uh, unless ur running 30 hard drives and a 8 way system, you really wont need 10 120mm 250CFM fans unless you want to create a tornado in your room. 😱 other than this comment, i've only seen redundant 600-500w PSU's

I do want to create a tornado in my room. PS, got a surge protector that can handle 15 amps? 😀 Thanks.

Thanks... any other manufactorers? Noise is not an issue. Also... I calculate a 13.3 amp draw. Should I place it on it's own 15 amp circuit?
EDIT: PCP&P Won't cut it, their highest is like 500 watts...

2500CFM total!! :Q I'm really curious, would you mind listing the full specs of the system and what it will be used for?

Great, 16 amp draw with monitor :|
Well... I don't have full specs yet, this will be built when the hammers are available. Basically dually hammers, gigs of ram, too many casemods to count, at least 2000 CFM of airflow, dual 226 watt peltiers, nv30, total watercooling, etc etc etc. I'm going to use it for extreme overclocking plus a gaming computer plus a bragbox for lan parties.
 
wow-- That's not a bug zapper but more like a dog killer! Back in the days when i had a old 1.2ghz athlon c-core i just open up the case put in a window ac pipe that baby over and pump 55 degree temps in that baby all year round...
 
I'm not sure I get why you need 2000cfm airflow in a total watercooling system. Maybe for the radiator if thats what you mean, but otherwise, i dunno. Got anymore details?

I saw a 600 watt PS at Comp USA the other day. $79 or $99, forget exactly
Why not just leave the side off the case and point a house fan at it...
I've done it and it drops the case temp by 4-5C

You can go with either an Antec True Power (link) or an Enermax (link).

Both are 550 watters.

Looks like I'm stuck with that. I'll probably end up getting those mini power supplies for the pelts, any links to those? Preferably 300 watts each, or 500 if I'm going to run both off of it.
 
Look at the illustration. Splice open a regular power cable. It has three wires and you just connect each one to the appropriate terminal. Its pretty self-explainatory.
 
I understand the watercooling+dual peltiers (use the waterblock to cool the peltiers) but the 2000+CFM escapes me. WTF are you cooling - hell?!

Just noticed that 😉
No solder required, right? Just strip off barely enough so there is no exposed wiring... I'm kind of worried about 120volts being exposed like that, along with the holding screw...
 
you have to be kidding. 2000 cfm airflow is overkill and nowhere near practical. BTW, with 226W peltiers, you're gonna have some serious condensation. (But I assume you already took this into account)
 
2500 CFM????? anymore and that thing will practically hover off the ground.... btw, is there really a need for all of this? water cooling, 10 huge fans AND peltiers????
 
My guess is that the 2000CFM of airflow is supposed to be enough to blow all the condensation into the neighbor's yard...

In my book, there's a pretty wide line between cool toy and completely ridiculous waste of money... this is way beyond that line.
 
Biggest waste of money ever. Why do you need a dual hammer system with "gigs of ram" to OC and play games? I hope you're not some high school kid working at McDs. Because that would just be SUPER!

Nope, Vapochill is a much more effective soloution, tho Im not sure they do dual CPU systems. It would be more effective power wise.. and tempurature wise. And no worry about condensation cause vapos heat the area around the socket slightly to combat condensation.
