It is done!!!!!!!!!! it took abit to trouble shoot the last issue i had with the cooling system and I ended up switching out the esc for a relay but it is now working great. Just finished overclocking everything and have the r9 290 @ 1100mhz (will go much farther soon) and the i5 at 4.7ghz stable. I am considering upgrading so if anyone has a cpu that hits 5ghz+ I may be interested in buying it. temps are 50 under full load (im thinking of deliding the cpu as i belive thats the issue). Additionally, as promised im selling one of my main rigs now!!! either my dual xeon sr-x beast or this tec rig. Here are some pics.

so I got board and though I would take the time to make a build utilizing a tec a arduino and some other parts to keep the cpu as close to ambient as possible without going under (condensation is a bitch). I recived the majority of my parts yesterday and put together a test loop today some parts are bellow and I could start uploading pictures if anyone is interested.
i5 2500k from cregslist
some mobo I forgot
havent decided on a gpu yet i was looking to trade my 980 ti away and get a watercooled on but might juts take one of my mining rig to use.
1/2 inch load af pump that wasnt ment for computers
150 watt TEC from across the ocean
heatcell from some 2000 minivan because it looked nice
airfilter from car because the fins on the heatcell are insainly thin and dust would annihilate its airflow
a cpu block and res from across the ocean
some foamed pvc and acrylic to build a case
some blue leds
and 3 gold+ 600 watt supermicro psus I have as backups for my mining rigs
let me know if anyone is intrested in me following this up as a build log like post.
note: will probably sell in dec if i dont fall madly fall in love with it
