Chiller

Anyone care to give me a quick rundown on building a chiller. i was thinking using the cold side of a pelt stuck in a small res to cool the water. Maybe have a heatsink on each side, and the hot side have fans on it. will the enermax 650 watt be enough to run a 72 or 84 watt pelt? no, i've never used them before, this is all an expiriment to me, so all help is good. thanks guys.

Many people have tried to build a chiller, but ussually withou result...

I have done a couple of experiments to try and run a small chill tank with a 60w peltier cooled with a fan and heatsink, it does work but the temp results are not fantastic.I found its better to run another waterblock cooled with a heatsink/fan in the system loop just before cpu entry.It does make a difference.
I have just made an aluminium heatsink to be cooled with an 80mm fan against 2 peltiers with a waterblock covering about a 90mm span in the loop prior to cpu.
It's just about done and I'll post some pics when done, I figure it should work ok....so I'll keep you posted.
