+- Peltier CPU Coolers

I have no idea how many are sold, but websites for PC enthusiasts (i.e.
'gamers') often discuss the use of Peltier coolers to keep their CPUs
running cooler. I happened to stumble across two reviews (Google is
amazing) of a new product in this area called the "Ultra ChillTec TEC
CPU Cooler". Not cheap with a suggested retail price of $149. If
you've never seen one of these, you might take a look at one of these
fairly detailed reviews:

Decent photos and some performance testing data give you some idea of
what these things are like.

[BTW, they are not a sponsor. Just caught my eye a bit]
