Notice that I said that I'd set them up to run at 100-150W via resistor arrays, each on a seperate cheap PSU? I fully understand what you're saying ... read my post again.

When you have three or four of them cooling at around 80-100W (actual), you can get your CPU very cold (easily subzero), you still will take up less space on the block than a standard pelt, and your system will be very failure resistant (even if 3 of 4 blow out, for example, one of them will keep your system from going nuclear until you can shut it off, even if it happens during the middle of the night and you don't catch it until the next morning).

The size per cooling ability is what will make this work, even if each individual mini-pelt does no more than a standard pelt does ... the advantage is the amount of them you can fit feasably per block.
