If I'm getting this right off of Wikipedia (which seems to be overwritten by some idiot now), the Peltier effect is two things:
The idea, however, is this: Take a regular powered Peltier to chill any modern CPU (say, an AMD Semperon). Add another Peltier to power a fan to help cool everything down.
I don't know the mathematics behind it, so I'm at a bit of a loss. AMD however recommends that chips do not go above 45 degrees C. My laptop is cool at 25 degrees C, so you have a base point there.

- A voltage is present in a circuit when a difference in temperature exists between two points in a circuit.
- Applying a voltage in a circuit will chill one point and heat up another point, forming a heat pump.
