I promised some pics.

These are a mix of shots before and after fixing styrene and installation of TEC and DSLR. You'll get the sense of it I'm sure.

There were 3 main objectives here:

1. Reducing the gap between the back of the camera and the front of the cold-side fan assembly. It's about 4mm in this build;

2. Reducing the size/volume of the box itself; and

3. Using an air-to-air cooler and NOT making the cooling of the whole box the priority. Instead, cooling the body of the camera came first and the rest was an incidental (probably unavoidable) side-effect and did no harm anyway.
