Well... a Peltier device could actually help. Now an 8W Netway Geode
"wafer" board could get by with passive cooling, but if you wanted to
stick a Pentium IV in a box you could pump the excess heat away with a
Peltier device and an external heatsink.

You can buy the bare devices fom places like this ;

...or in car fridges ($50 at DSE, cat# M4500) ;
