Like the boxes, but Love the cooler even more. I have tried the same but cannot get the device lower than 16 degrees C let alone form ice. Can you post details of have you built it??

And love the tyre warmers Pete.
I use 2 40mm 75/92W peltiers attached with Arctic Silver Epoxy. The trick is to use a heatsink with a copper base as this helps draw the heat out of the hot side of the peltier and make the opposite side cooler. Mine goes sub-zero in just minutes.
