If you buy a thermo-electric (Peltier type) mini fridge, be aware of
their limitations: they can only lower the ambient temperature by 40

You can stack 2 peltier coolers to get 80 degrees difference, 3 for 120...
that is good for operation upside down or any direction, even good for
zero gravity. Down on earth staying upright it's a lot cheaper to use the
old fangled compressor systems.


On the outlet, does it make any difference in the performance whether you
put the ground pin up or down on the 3 prong plugs?
