It doesn't help that it's basically a plastic shell. A real fridge works much better not only because it has much more power, but it can keep the heat out with insulation. I'd like to get one and take it apart, and then wire it up to my old project PSU to crank it high. If it's just a fan and a heatsink, then nevermind.
Those things work with a peltier element.

It transports heat from one side of the element to the other when you put current on it.
The fan is there to cool the hot side since it can only cool a certain ammount of degrees.
20* outside = 5* Inside
25* outside = 10* Inside
ect.
You can also use them to cool your cpu with.
And is it effective for this job?
Imma hold on till one of the other FPers get their hands on it and (hopefully) post their experiences here just to be sure :smile:
I got mine today, the plate gets frezzing but if you're planning to use a glass then don't as if the glass bottom is to thick then it won't cool it.
Tried the glass, trying can later.

Also I know you want it just for the shits and jiggles, but if you want something that won't just stay on your desk unused get this:

I like how there's coffee in the fridge. Freezing/cooling coffee beans or grinds does not preserve them, contrary to what people think.
Putting eggs in the fridge actually doesn't preserve them either. On the contrary, it spoils them quicker.

[QUOTE=DarkWolf2;22827207]Did you do it from hot>cold or to keep it cooled?

And is it exactly the same product?

Seeing as the first one didn't have heating options.[/QUOTE]
I guess I don't have the exact same product. I thought it was just a different color for the same thing. My apologies for the confusion. I have the earlier one that was red and tan. The cooling on that isn't very good. I don't know how yours would be. They might have made it better for the second but who knows.
