Anybod ever tried it?

Are there any alternative methods besides water cooling to cool your pc's insides? The idea of running tubing containing water or a liquid cooling agent thru the case with all the connectors just sounds like an invitaiton to disaster to me. I'm not looking to cool dramatically but I have a prescott 3.0 that runs a little warm and the intel monitor app gives lots of heat warnings when gaming or running numerous programs at once. I was thinking of taking the cooling element from an electric Coleman cooler and mount the element inside the case. No water, no condensation, no disasters. But before I did i just wanted to check to see if any one has tried it yet and gather any thoughts you might have whetehr it would ne worth it or not. The cooler is supposed to lower the temp inside the cooler 40f below outside temp. Will that do anything inside a pc?
