In this video, I show you how I built a low cost TEC or Peltier Cooling Device. For under $35, this 12v unit can be used in a small cooler to keep your drinks cool or other preparedness applications.

As for the fasteners, I used computer standoffs for motherboards that I had laying around (you could get them at any computer shop) and some matching threaded bolts from the hardware store. Don’t remember the size but it wasn’t too hard to figure out.
