Let me get some things sorted out here:

XyBerwhatever....

Do you want an air or watercooled heatsink?
Do you plan on building a chiller with pelts or with a compressor?

Don't knock liquid chillers guys... they can get some damn low temps. For examples look over on extremesystems.org.

Dealing with the condesnation, I'll conceed, is a major PITA. I gave up on a project becuase the amount of inulation I had to use wouldn't fit inside of a respectable case.

Remember, when using a compressor (think AC system or fridge) the amount of heat energy transported is NOT a direct result of the power draw of the compressor. The type of gas used plays a huge role in trasnsporting heat. This allows compressors to be substantially more efficient than their TEC brethern.
