i will keep updates flowing on this sidehack..

as for what scryptr posted.. this has made my head go all silly.

I remember back when i had my old socket 478 P4, with a 200w TEC and a custom water loop (taken from a fish tank and a aircon exchange radiator)

now, i want to get myself a 2nd 2pac if i can get one cheap enough in UK (as i might possibly kill it)
i will get a 15x30mm TEC (about 30w), powered by an old laptop charger i have laying about.

pop an old heatpipe cooler on the top of that, and the stock 2pac cooler on the back. seal it all up with silicone glue to stop condensation.

will probably need to use tension clips to hold it together, as the TEC will block the bolts :/

will remove the 5v feed from the USB port and solder in a 5v 4A charger instead that i have so i dont have to worry about not enough power getting to the unit.

once thats all done, i can crank up the voltage, and see how far it will go hahahah.

not practical, but going to be bloody fun anyway.... i miss the oldskool computer setups.. this will be fun ^_^

once i have a TEC and a new 2pac, ill make a new post with my step by step journey.
