Well, the first cut was put into the Styrofoam cooler. It is going to be exactly the same size as the TEC's cool side radiator, in order to ensure the insulation works the best. The ATX PSU was modified to allow screw connections to the fans and TEC and a switch to enable the PSU (Forcing an ATX PSU on is as easy as tying the green wire to any ground wire),but it appears something is broken as the PSU no longer turns on. When I turn on the external switch, I hear a single *click* in the PSU, but no power or fan movement.

Once this issue has been diagnosed, the next step is to ensure the insulation is complete; possibly with caulk.
