Mebbe it's just me, but I don't think I'd be so cavalier about possibly burning up a $225 piece of equipment ;)

About that heatsink...how does it attach to the board, and what's the CPU look like underneath it? If it clips on, you can likely replace it with a different heatsink if you choose to go the Peltier or heatsink+fan route. If it's epoxied on there, forget doing anything with a Peltier (or even removing the heatsink). Your best bet would be mounting a fan on top of it and/or water cooling the thing.

Keep in mind, too, that space in that CC chassis is terribly restricted and will make efficient heat dissipation even more important than it would be in, say, a stock CC.

It might be worthwhile to replace the stock fan - the one up in the back of the CC case - with a higher-rated one that can move more air (higher CFM spec). I think the one that's in there draws power from the 12V on the analogue board, so that's probably safe to boost without overdrawing the 12V line.

I'm sure you can work out something, but I'd be really tempted to drop back to 100MHz while I was working out a solution...
