Peltier is hell a lot older than computer, came about the turn of the century.

The only "bad" thing about it is once you are too close to it's "limit", the reverse happens.

The second issue is hight power consumption.

Otherwise, it's great.

Tosher, the link only tells me how to decide what kind I need to purchase,

Is there a place where I can see a picture of one.

The best use of a Peltier I've seen is with a watercooling system (i.e. a 'waterchiller' where the Peltier cools the water, and the water cools the CPU). Way more effective cooling with both a Peltier and water than a Peltier alone on your cpu. Way more effective that way as the water provides a good 'buffer' for the heat. Peltiers suck up alot of juice - you may very well need to run a separate power supply for it. With a waterchilling system, there is the need of insulating the tubing as condensation may build up on it.
