Cooling a DSLR with a Peltier Fridge

I finally have a Peltier fridge cooling the 5DH on my wide field setup. I replaced the puny fan on the Peltier heat exchanger with a variable speed 0.4A 12V one. I also put a small 60mm fan inside the fridge to blow cool air onto the back of the camera. The peltier junction is supplied by a variable power supply so I can 'set' the cooling temperature.
The following pictures should be self explanatory.
