I was recently thinking of water cooling my system, as im running an SP94 + 92mm Tornado. It cools fairly well, but its LOUD, and gets annoying. So ive been looking into water cooling for a good month, and im pretty sure I have a good grasp on the concept. However recently I have been looking into Peltiers, and ive been thinking about Bypassing total water cooling, and pelt cooling it instead. So i guess my question is, would this be too big a jump? I mean it seems to be logical, they are a little more expensive, but it seems like not a rediculous amount ($50 more for cpu block and $20 more for gpu block, plus the $90 meanwell PSU). So were looking at around $160-170 more than normal water cooling, for a huge temp decrease...seems to make fiscal sense. But would this be too complicated and risky a processes for someone whos never water cooled before? It really doesnt seem that complicated, but im sure its harder than it looks. I would probably use a '77 Bonneville HC w/ 2 120mm sanyo fans, 1/2" tygon tubing, and an MCP650, enough to cool the TEC system I would think. Ok, sorry for rambling, but would you guys advise making the change to pelt, or just getting normal water for now and save pelt for another time. thanx!
