Ok... well then two questions.

1) Where are some places that sell 24V pelters?

2) Are there pelters that are designed to run at 48V?

My idea is that in a water chiller that only uses a water block sandwiched between two high wattage pelts doesnt have enough contact time with the frozen waterblock.

WEll what if you were to make a vertical res. with large heatsinks (say old PII heatsinks vertically stacked) in the res. being chilled by say (4) 156W 24V (or 48V) pelts? The water would sit in the res for a few seconds and have to filter down throught the fins (plently of surface area) and then be pumped out the bottom all nice and cold.

Peliminary calculations came out that it would be ~600W worth of cooling in that type of a setup and might just give the water enough time to cool down; especially if the water had to wait `10-15sec before it was pumped back into the CPU water block.

What do you guys think? Crazy?
<shrug> just a brainstorm one night while trying to fall asleep....
