I understand how a peltier can be used to cool off the cpu. However i've been doing a lot of reading on several different forums, and have come across a few people who talk about using multiple peltiers (4+) to cool the water. It sounds like they have some sort of block setup (and i'm guessing a stack of power suplies) that puts the water at sub zero (must be using anti-freeze) temps before it even gets to the cpu.

Can anyone shed some light on how this works? It sounds like they have some large resovior that they just submerge some petliers into that are attached to copper blocks... but that doesn't seem like a smart solution. What concepts are behind this sort of cooling? I couldn't find any pictures or drawings of this kind of setup.
