I wanted to discuss this further, but it was getting off-topic in the nueRom report thread, so I thought I'd start a thread on this topic specifically.. (please move if this is the wrong area, but the titans have wifi, soo...)
From the report thread.

that's why I havn't done this yet, but I think it would be a decent idea, to prolong the life of our batteries and wifi chips.
I have seen some creations on the web for soda(beer) can coolers that use these, and I acually have an Igloo cooler that uses a peltier.
Ideas please.....
