I also won't be able to do anything until i buy a new hard drive or get a new one from seagate cuz it failed 2 days ago, still waiting for rma #.
Anyways I'm running a P4 3.0E S478. I've been doing a little research and from what I gather the TDP is ~90-100W. Am I right? So I need a TEC that will give me at least that at 75% capacity? I've been looking on e-bay for a TEC and i've found a 170W and the dimensions are 50mmX50mm which is bigger than my cpu chip so how does that affect this peltier design? that's all the questions i'll ask for now, i'll ask some more after these are answered. thanks

Search around all these are simple TEC Qs that you can find, try different forums though there isnt anything along the lines of a tutorial sticky around these parts.
My design used an undervolted TEC so you will need one much bigger than a 170w, your system will also have to be adapted to the heat load you are planning as well(437w at 7-9v seems about right to me). Keep looking and LMK what you come up with, I am waiting for someone to get back to me on some P4 results with this setup.
