PLEASE keep working on this project. Such a monitoring/control system would have mass appeal to people after cool/stable high powered systems.

I'll buy one from you today!

I need/use a very fast/quiet rig for my business, and see TECs as the future, once control issues can be sorted out. I'm not about to home-waterproof my system & play till it pops.

As a condensation control measure, I'm considering building my my next box inside an old bar fridge (because it's air tight) and attaching a 350w TEC to a large sheet of copper to attract/freeze the condensation out of the air. A water block, opposite the TEC on the back of the copper sheet, would cool a water loop for CPU etc.

I'd rather buy what you are describing however.

Cheers,
Shoebox9

PS Comments on my condensation attractor idea are very welcome. :-) I figure inside an air sealed system (with an external cooling radiator) a limited amount of water vapor exists which will be "attracted" to condense on the coldest thing, thus reducing available water held by this packet of air to condense on other bits. Am I mad, will this work?
