Are peltiers any count? Am I correct in thinking heatsink/fan<peltier/heatsink<watercooling? Is there any risk associated with the use of peltiers? Why is condensation a problem with peltiers? Could you please direct me to a good website with answers to my questions? I know where to buy the goods... www.leufkentechnologies.com. It's too bad he doesn't have any articles on how these things work or if so, then I was unable to find them.

Are peltiers quiet? They don't produce any noise, right?
 
A peltier device is an active silicon thermal transfer device

What it means is the device creating the thermal transfer is silicon (so it is active) as electricity passes through it. A peltier is a whole bunch of P-N junctions that transfer heat one way when energy is passed through it, do a search for more information.

The best Peltier cooling devices are temperature regulated.

If you wish to use a small peltier and a watercooling setup then you can have a nifty setup that works like this:

(water flow) CPU > Pump > Radiator & fan > Cold side of peltier > back to CPU

Problem with this setup is you cannot use a Peltier that has too high a power rating else you will end up wasting energy as the CPU will not have sufficient heat generation to warm the water up so the radiator & fan blow excess heat away. In that event you will need to go the full monty with insulation on your motherboard to stop condensation.
