Swifttech Thermal Electric cool kit for LGA775

Anyone used or know anyone that has used this kit? http://www.frozencpu.com/ex-wat-57.html?mv_pc=1605

It looks like a bugdet alternative to peltier, one that I'm interested in since I've done the water thing for 2 years but don't want to (and can't really afford to) jump right into peltier cooling.

The only review I can find is here http://www.mvktech.net/content/view/822/ but I can't seem to find anyone actually using it.

Thanks in advance

Thermo Electric Cooling IS a Peltier... TEC utilises the peltier effect to cool the cpu/component (one side gets really really hot, other side gets really really cold)

But it seems to use water still, but just gets it really, really cold. I'm not entirely sure how the Vapochill and Mach2 do their cooling but I didnt think it was chilled water...

In any case, has anyone seen this setup in action?

EDIT: I just realized that link was to the regular water kit... Here is the 120"T" review http://www.xtremeresources.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Reviews&file=index&req=showcontent&id=62

Just my warning on pelts. Make sure to get something to take care of the condensation. Killed a system because I forgot.

To answer your question, no. But I have seen that TEC cooling unit used on a 478 with good results. They used a dual 120mm rad though. This setup uses 2 80mm rads. You probably know this but you can buy all those parts seperately for less than that price.

That kit combines tec/peltier with water. There is a tec that is built into the waterblock, and then water is used to cool the hot side of the tec/peltier.
Vapochill and Mach2 systems are phase change. They work basically the same as a fridge or standard household freezer, but are generally colder.
