Peltiers!!
Is anybody here using peltier cooling or know anything about them? I am really looking into it right now and I was thinking of making my own custom kit. However, instead of water cooling I was going to use a good fan and heatsink combo.
Does anybody here know anything about this and can possibly help me design my kit? I did a search and nothing interesting came up.

I dont' have personal experience, but I do know that using peltier cooling isn't a particularly easy, user-friendly thing to install. You have to deal with significant condensation issues and the "kits" aren't available like with water cooling. If you want to try it, maybe put it in an older box first, to fine tune things. Good luck!
