The Ice cap sandwhich is installed... Kinda.

The damn thing causes my power supply (420W Thermaltake) to switch of due to too much power draw I think? I have it (and the HD's for 5V draw) on a seperate power supply atm.

Scrapped ice of the side of a Deep-Freeze for distilled water! Only place that had any on a Sunday night.

TEC switched on at line # 8

Temps were at 37C with occasional jumps to 38C without thr TEC.
After switch on they were 36 mostly with occasional jumps to 37C and 35C.

So it looks like I gained 0.5 to 1C for all my trouble!

Looks damn cool though and there may be a little room for improvement:

The HS gets really hot so a bigger one, with more fans, may help.
The WB is slightly cool to the touch so perhaps insulating it will help.
