BigBen/RoboTech,

Thanks for the advice, I really believe that watercooling is in its infancy stages for mainstream appeal. I think mounting a TEC directly onto the CPU (Coldplate) will cause more condensation than using a TEC to chill the water just a few degrees below ambient.

I do know that it is energy inefficent to create such a device, but in the grand scheme of it all the device really doesnt add more than a few cents a day. I'll make sure to measure the actual draw and then do a cost comparision of my electric bill with and without before trying to commercialize such a product.

I appreciate the links and support. I am definately no engineer but rather a person who sees an opportunity to help a technology segment grow beyond its grass roots into a product group that would be used by major OEM's or at the very least by mainstream enthusiasts.

If anyone has any design ideas to share for a self contained plug and cool device that could be made higher performing and cheaper than a Exos Koolance let me know
