Alright, I uploaded the changes that I have made so far. I was going to wait until I was finished before submitting them, but there are some severe storms nearby and I didnt want to risk loosing what I had done.

I'm open to comments on what I have so far as well, but keep in mind that not everything is completed yet.

This post is the first time I've read of TEC cooling and I am now really interested in it as I was looking into water cooling. I'm a bit confused about some of the TEC kits available though. All in all, thanks!

I may make a list similar to ceewi, noting some of the popular brands and some of the ones known to be of poor quality.

They make heatsink and fan based TEC coolers, and they work pretty well. Heres one from frozencpu.com

I looked to be a mod when I joined up and then slowly over time I just grown away from it. I saw what kinda crap they had to put up with... Just wait until 1500 posts and then think back.

It's highly unlikely you would be a mod now, since your so new.

But lets just get back on topic please. :)

That is the only fan based tec cooler I've found. The rest are liquid kits by Swiftech or CoolIT based on what I've found. This tec stuff fascinates me.

Phase-change cooling is the best way to really cool your processor, but unless you have $800+ and dont mind paying a high electricity bill, then it's probably not for you. I was actually going to talk a little bit about phase-change cooling as well for a bit.
