Sure, you're prepped for TEC use. Your equipment will run best with a 172W or 226 W TEC. I haven't seen any trialouts between heatercores and Black ICE extreme. A guy I spoke to tried 226W tec + Eheim 1048 + Black Ice Extreme... it didn't work out perfectly. His temps started to rise, and when it stopped it wasn't exactly "super cooled" anymore.
I don't know how much heat the XP 2400 deliverers overclocked, so basicly we have nothing to count on.

I hope you got a good heater core and a flow that beats the Eheim 1048.
If the cooling capacity isn't enough you'll end up with the same result with the 172 W and the 226 W TEC.

Other pain in the *** stuff with supercooling is insulation and condensation prevention. You need to cover not only the socket, but also a bit around the socket aswell. Don't forget the inside of the socket, needs to be stuffed aswell. A pain in the *** with TEC cooling is getting 'nuff power to the TEC. Very few can run a 226 W tec on the PC powersupply. You'll most probably need a separate PS.

were can i get a good psu for my 226W tec and can i put it in my drive cage and do u know any good insulation giudes

 

[flapperhead]

a 12v power supply for that bigboy is gonna be costly. get a couple of decent atx power supplies(may i suggest dealsonic) and diode isolate the 12volt side and run them in parallel. i did this for my pelt and got 12v 30 amps for about 30$ with shipping.if you bought a regular 30 amp 12v supply it would cost you at least 200$ good luck............

how do u do that with atx psus

12V 30 amps, + other voltages... 89 bucks.

Though I doubt it will fit in the drivecage !!!

here's one psu that can do it that i found on ebay. I even have one myself, but never tired it. I'm currently saving up money to get my system upgraded and throw a good cooling system on it.
