Peltier effect Cooling

Has anyone ever tried cooling their CPU/GPU with Peltier effect devices?:hmmm:
I have been thinking about this many times but never game enough to try it!!:oops:

There is not much on this subject, if you go to YouTube and search for "Peltier cooling" there is quite a lot on the devices but very little on PC cooling, basically if you have seen or purchased drink coolers for the car that plug into you cigarette lighter, these contain a a peltier device, it has 2 wires, just add 12v dc, one side gets hot the other freezes, they are about 1.5" x 1.5" x 1/8", you would place a heatsink on CPU that has a flat area to mount this device with a heatsink on that, then you need an electronic thermostat to switch the device on when temperature rises and off when cooled!:yep:

Water Cooling is for drinking. Already been done. :haha:

The solution in Liquid Cooling would make you sick or worse. :dead:
