Thanks for your promptness in replying.. sounds like a plan provided I can find one cheap enough (gah, which leads to the biggest of all problems -- finding a way to finance this without pissing anyone off

).. Also a question.. if I chose a beefier peltier (say 172 watt) and I kick the voltage down a couple of volts, (this is probably a stupid question, but necessary to clear all doubts I have) will in turn the amount of current being drawn from the bench supply increase? and.. if so I will want to know ahead of time not to overdraw my power supply, correct? Thanks again I wasn't expecting a reply so soon
