Personnally, I believe that a #rotor style block with a relatively thick base will do a good job at cooling a TEC. Also, using more than 4 screws to tight the wb/TEC/coldplate assembly together might help having a more uniform pressure/contact.

right, so whats complicated about making a #rotor style block. If you wanted to, you could even go so far as to put a screw into every one of the pins, that would make for a sturdy enough block, right?
