I don't know if this is a good idea lol, but for a few months now I've been playing with Peltiers, and have made a mini air conditioning unit using two Freezer 64 Pros, a 420w peltier and a length of tumble drier hose 
It works well, and if I set the fan on the hot side of the peltier to full, and have the cold side fan off or low, I can get frost on the vanes of the heatsink pretty quickly.
With my system in my sig, would it be good to use a Peltier? I'm going C2D (E6600) shortly, and would like to have a good cooling setup, I know I'd have yet more heat to deal with, but my case seems pretty good at dealing with it (The coolermaster elite 330).
Any ideas as to how stupid/good this idea is? My CPU is cooled by a Freezer 7, which I could adapt to take the extra height, or get a water cooling system.
Thanks!
