Peltier cooling.
Has anyone had any experience with Peltier cooling? I am aware of the condensation issue and the necessary insulation. Other than cost, what are the pluses and the minuses?

The advantage is good cooling for the cpu,the bad is the heat they produce raises the case temp up and can affect the temps of other components.

One other thing to consider is the power draw. Peltiers draw lots of power, especially the ones powerful enough to cool a CPU, in which case you will also need a good water cooling system to cool the hot side of the peltier.
