I just got one on ebay for $6 it was used but works. Mine is 120w but the larger ones are still real cheap, under $20 I think. If your thinking of cooling a new cpu, I don't think you will have much luck. Checking on the web I seen some math and to get a temp drop you have to remove the heat from cpu and peltier{150w+cpuw] thats a lot of heat. Lets say your cpu is 80 watts and runs full at 50c what would that be at 230w. At the low cost it may be worth it just for the hell of it. I got mine cuz it was cheap, but it looks like it will end up just a cool toy.
