a simple pin grid like swiftech's older blocks , or something.
Mini fridge systems cannot handle a load and are not rated to run continuously. It would have to be able to run 12-15hrs a day while I test one block.

Yeah it would add area but I don't think it would be all that much better. Swiftech's MCW50-T is direct water cooled on the hot side and works. I think it would work on the cold side aswell. If I did that I could use something other than metal and make it a lot easier to mill (and cheaper). All out performance isn't required here either. I guess I should buy a TEC first and make the design around it.
