Yes - I have done it. You MUST HAVE the fan on the hot side. Having a fan on the cold side is optional but does help in circulation cooling. Be advised that you may need a catch can of some sort to collect condensation on the cold side.

I just found these on eBay (Item Number 200159335057 - http://cgi.ebay.com/Huge-Swedish-The...QQcmdZViewItem), I wonder how they would work...

They will work - but they are missing a heat sink as shown. Also note that Peltiers are very fragile - so a lot of care needs to be taken when removing and attaching heat sinks. Hopefully the one he took apart gets put back together correctly because if the heat sink paste is not put on correctly - hot spots will develop and a burn out will occur.

Thanks for the info, RGD! This will require further thought.
