Did some work on my cooler box and its working. I am still using the Chinese TEC that I bought off ebay and it seems like it's going to be ok. The box is aluminium but I decided to make the TEC end of 1.2mm copper plate (that I had for the cold finger project). The plate is attached by bolts and the sides where it joins the aluminium are bedded in Arctic Silver thermal paste. The TEC is directly through bolted to the copper plate, again with Arctic Silver paste, and I mounted the cold side fan and sink to the other side of the copper plate. Progress photos attached.
