I like the concept of it, and in this particular scenario, it works. But it's a precarious thing. If I fully comprehend Cathar's criticisms (please forgive my caffeine deprived thought process), I think the point is, why bother when plain old watercooling is less dangerous and nearly as effective and at the other end of the spectrum, you have full power peltier cooling, which is much more effective. This has a couple things going for it though. It's cheap, simple and silent. But it's got a very small range of applications. Too much heat and it cooks itself. Too little and you get condensation. So you'd need a temperature controller on the peltier. Not a huge deal. Looks good considering it's still cheap and silent.

I think much of the criticism comes from the mention of the pump and whatnot, because then you're back to square one with peltier cooling. You'll need your foam, conformal coating, dielectric grease, etc. And once you have that, why not take advantage of it and buy another power supply and run it at full voltage? Take advantage of it all. Or just ditch the peltier and go with a near silent heatpipe cooler like a recent Thermalright design and keep things really cheap and simple (and safe).

This seems to be in a grey area. A no mans land if you will, of cooling power. Power enough to be dangerous, but not enough to be worth it.

Or maybe I'm way out in left field and missed the point entirely.
