Meltdowns like that are not really all that uncommon with peltiers. I wouldn't run one personally until I had verified that the system's wiring didn't allow situations like: pelt running with no pump, pelt running without computer, computer running without pelt. Just seems common sense to me.
Refrigeration (phase change) tech is far more robust and established, and cheaper to run. Pelts are simpler to add though.
