So i have posted a few threads asking about methods for my 177watt qmax peltier, and you guys have ruled out using it on my cpu, graphics card, and also as a pc case cooler(even though i have seen factory built tec coolers that where only 40watts for pc cases). so could you guys just throw some ideas at me for what i should use my peltier for besides a fridge or drink cooler?

I was wondering, i have always wanted to build a old gaming system that could run windows 98 for all of my old games, and i have a 933mhz pentium 3 with 256k cache and a 733mhz pentium 3 with 512k cache, so if turned the power down a little bit to this peltier would this kind of setup work?? with that 145 watt heatsink i have if i put a much higher flow fan on it?? i'm just bored and i was going to built that system stock anyways so why not peltier cool it, right?

The thing of it is even running a under-clocked chip you need to dissipate the chips heat as well as the TEC's heat dump. I'd just throw together a little cheap WC'ing rig for it.

If nothing else you could use a little 40x40mm TEC like that to cool the NB on a OC rig, I'd still WC it.

I had one set up like that to run on my DICE rig's NB and ended up never using it, I just made a DICE pot for my NB instead.
