I think danger dan is great. I havent gotten my system yet, but I have heard good things, and yes the can take peltiers.

[hunter00]

yeah but which danger den is the best (that takes a peltier)?

which is the best bang-for-buck-wise?

also, what exactly is a cold plate?

[xCarne_Asada]

well i am not sure if this is correct might want to check their site but, they have the maze 2 which is just a stand copper block, then the maze2-1 which is the block with one pelitier, then the maze2-2 with 2 pelitiers. i think any of the mazes would be worth it.

The Maze 2.2 is THE pelt block.

Either, the maze2-2 can be run with 0-2 40mm pelts or 0-1 48mm pelts. The maze 2-1 can only run with 0-1 tecs (40mm or 48mm). The maze2-2 has a different cold plate fixing though which many consider superior.

tec?

so are you saying its worth the 5 bucks?
