You probably know something about the Peltier effect where an electric
current moves heat from one side of a plate to the other. The hot side
of the plate needs at the minimum a very good air cooler and better yet
effective water cooling. I'm no expert but putting a PC in a high heat,
high humidity environment seems like a recipe for disaster. You have to
not only ensure that it will not short out from condensation and wet
fingers but keep it from over heating. Have you got an unused office
frig that you can install into? Good luck and I'd be interested in how
you manage to do it.

Is it the same thing with air cooling that with a pelteir you would still
need cooler air to make the unit function?
I have a situation where I need to put a computer or DVR in a pool house
that is about 120 or so... I was wondering if a pelteir or water cooling
would work in this kind of extremes..
