Only real solution is the cold finger system for consistent and effective cooling IMHO. I'll look into it when I finally get round to the IR mod.

Hold on for a tick before you start cannabalising your DSLR. I've got my much-reduced dimensions box waiting on the arrival of a good quality air-to-air assembly from Custom Thermoelectrics in the States. The one I already have is doing good stuff in a bigger box and I believe will do even better with my newer design. The trick - I continue to believe - is not trying to cool the whole box but to blow cold air directly onto the back of the camera and, if it also cools the box a bit well and good but cool the camera first. That isn't the Gary Honis method, I know, because he uses an air-to-plate design that is the byproduct of pulling a car fridge apart.
The device should be here this week and I'll post some results super pronto.
By the way, you can control the temperature in these box designs using one of these:
