How about putting the components inside of a mini-bar fridge? It’s cheaper than a Vapochill case...

why not use fans? they are reletively cheap, can be bought silent, and dont use much power?
Maybe describe the problem or what you are trying to do and I can help you out. Im pretty good at coming up with fabrications
