Hey all...I am new here and have never really looked into TECs...but a friend of mine is getting one and I thought they were really cool. So I just have some easy questions. I will post my system specs so you can refer to them....
Intel 3.2GHz 775 (plan to OC)
Abit AA8-DuraMax MOBO
No RAM yet...plan to get 512 Dual channel PC2 4300...then upgrade to 1GB
No Video yet..plan to get a 6600GT in PCI-E
Thermaltake 420w Purepower
Thermaltake Tsunami Case
No cooling yet as I'm still building
Ok...question number one. Should I get an "el cheapo" liquid cooling system to go on top of the TEC or a nice air set up?
Next question...should I buy the TEC seperatly and then get the cooling system or buy them together like Swiftech's 5002-775T?
Number 3....What kin of wattage should I be looking at....there was a 226W TEC for 15 bucks on ebay

...is that even normal?....I don't have to worry about the PSU becasue I can buid one...I am an electronic engineering student so that is no sweat.
Also...what are some general condensation prevention ideas?
And if there is anything that I am not address or you think I should know about please let me know....thanks.
