If you mean the pelts in use today, there are already temperature controllers that will work. What are you willing to pay? The devices I know of that you can buy "off the shelf" are $500+.
I am going to build one for myself with a hygrometer built in to keep the minimum temperature above the dewpoint. I was thinking about developing it into a product, but I've pretty well concluded the market is not there. I couldn't afford to sell them for less than $180 and OC'ers tend to be inherently cheap.
Also pelts aren't keeping up with the increasing heat generation of CPU's. Unless something like this Coolchips stuff becomes a reality there doesn't appear to be a future for pelts. (I'm somewhat suspicious that the coolchips stuff is a scam.)

Dude, check this out!!!

Swiftech, the Overclockers best friend will be shipping their new MCX462+T by the end of the month.
Designed for Extreme Overclockers who shun liquid cooling, are not concerned about noise level, but still want everything they can squeeze out of their CPU's, Swiftech has heard your prayers!
The MCX462+T is a Thermoelectric Heatsink that employs a 226W Peltier unit that is pre-assembled and insulated to eliminate the possibility of condensation.
The MCX462+T as it's name implies, is for extreme air-cooling of your screaming AMD CPU and requires the availability of the four holes around the socket of your motherboard.
Intel P4 users don't fret; I have it on good authority that a MCX4000 T is in the works!
I just couldn't close this report without showing you the bottom of the MCX462+T, pure Swiftech beauty!

Here is where I heard about it and a couple pics.

Scroll down the page a bit. Don't give up! There may not be much of a market now but if things keep heating up with CPU's then there will be!! Would be good to get a solid foot in the door before the market gets good like Danger Den did before water cooling started picking up. Don't let Swiftech take all the market!
