Also using a water chiller elminates the need to fill your MB with condensation protection (given reasonable temps) and all that fiddling around with the cold plates, TECs, WB sandwitch.
But, as for sticking a TEC into water...you are leaving yourself open for shorting the PSU.

The COP of a TEC is less then 1. Thats very ineffcient. Of course if you get enough power it will work, but that doesn't change the fact that its very ineffcient.
