I got one, it was at 9 units when I bought one, so it's probably at 8 now, unless someone else jumped on the band wagon ;D I guess I need to get me some Artic Silver Epoxy now... I've got Artic silver thermal paste... so I guess I play around with the pelt and the laser while I'm waiting for epoxy. I need to get a camera lens for my photography class this semester too... it kinda bites when funds are limited, and some have to go to school, others get to go towards hobbies... oh well, such is life.

falchionsmight,
Welcome to the club...glad you got one..you will love it. You can use the arctic silver compound to put between the hot side and a heat sink until you get the adhesive. The only thing to be careful of are the wires. They are thin and I think with a little too much twisting/bending they would break off. They can be soldered back on but they are soldered in between the stacks so the solder joints are difficult to get to. Other than that have fun...
Mike...why am I not surprised... ;D

So I guess that's a no from those who have purchased since I posted.
I hate to pay $8 for a part and $18.65 for shipping.
If anyone else (US domestic) plans on picking any of these up, can you order 1 or 2 extra and I will pay you for them and to ship them to Canada? Please...

While we're talking about TEC's ---
I got my Arctic glue today and mounted my Aixiz module holder to a big TEC.
I drove one of SenKats diodes to 500 mA and all was cool. 250 mW of red. Looks like 500 mA is overdriving the poor critter. BUT -- It didn't burn out !!

And you guessed correctly... But the way the ones I ordered are designed, and because it is so small, and because it draws so little current it could still be mounted in a flashlight....awesome..
