I remember spending endless hours keying in "Commodore Basic" code from Compute's Gazette into my C-64!

something like this...

10 print "Cello On or Off?"
20 input c
30 if c=On goto50
40 if c=Off goto60
50 print "n00b" goto10
60 print "WRONG ANSWER" goto10

Peltiers have to be monitored VERY closely in critical cooling apps. Should they malfunction, they become excellent insulating material. If a cooling fan malfunctions, at least they heat sink still provides a lot of heat dissipation.

We used a Peltier in our high school science project. Had some first gen single core AMDs running around -20c. Fun project but we should tried to include some overclocking tests. We also had to seal the entire inner portion of the socket with some non-conductive gel. Very fun stuff to play around with.
