GPU+RAM peltier cooled 9600XT

Hey guys, I got a built by ATI 9600XT that I have peltier cooled the RAM and GPU, at 600mhz on GPU it typically idles around -4c and full load at around 2-4C above zero.
I havent gone nutso on overclocking it, I did it for fun,

Here is the thread that I have started, I have 3/8" OD pushfits on it and it can be easily fitted for 1/2" barbs
I will be including a few peices of insulation as The capacitors and pcb on the edge gets quite cold and in a more moist enviroment it could condense.
The voltage chips(for volt modding) are under a little bit of insulation, not a big deal, I already pealed it back once.
The peltier I have on it is around 72w, not totally sure, could be more, could be less, for extreme cooling a 172w could be put on at 12v and it would cool better than this guy.

I want $165 shippedfor it or I would be interested in trading for another video card(I prefer actually) or a LCD monitor.

cool...i have considered cooling the mem chips on my 9600XT...they get pretty warm

but i figure i should just spend the 10 bucks on those small alu heatsinks

sub-ambient is something i am just not ready for on an everyday machine, and i don't have enough money to bench

what are your benchmarks?
$165 is quite a bit for a 9600XT...when a 6600nU for PCIE can be had for $135, and a 6600GT for AGP is only $190...$165 is quite a bit for that...so how does it bench?

Maybe just for the card alone. The Pelt block assembly is worth over half that $165 IMO. Question is can the pelt assembly fit on a X800 line if the buyer were to upgrade later and transfer the assembly over? Not interested myself though as I would make my own if needed. :D Nice work Jon.

obobski, I havent benchmarked it much becuase I dont have a power supply decent enough to handle much for overclocking with all the rest of my hardware. Right now I took off the peltier cooler and all and will probably just keep it. If I was to find out that the dimentions were the same on another card, I would sell the cold plate.
