Default Thermoelectric cooling for a kegerator?

http://cgi.ebay.com/Two-Giant-Thermo...d=p4999.c0.m14

I'm thinking about getting one of these and trying it. I have an old radio that has a pretty big space inside, enough for 2 corny kegs and I'm considering insulating it and then using these to cool it down.

I looked at their website, sounds like they make marine cooling units specifically for boats and cars as well.

I think I'm going to keep an eye out on eBay...

Ha! I still like the idea, but I bought a small chest freezer instead.

It's so highlander it's great.

Sadly I think when it comes to anything brewing related PC out-nerds me. I do inorganic, solid state chemistry.

Nothing at all, just the way the chips fell I guess.
