1. Check out Cathar's "experiments with Peltier water chillers" over at OCAU forums.

2. Remember that copper is not a perfect conductor. There will need to be temperature gradiant through the "heat spreader" (cold spreader?) to get the energy to move through the resistance.

3. It will need to be more insulated than normal, as the bigger size will result in a bigger opportunity for the heat spreader to cool the air in the case and not the CPU.
