Hi guys I've read entire thread and I kinda saw myself on kikicoco1334 posts.
I tried the single peltier layout once and it was really awful. Using a H70 with two 197cfm deltas I was only able to keep an stock 2500k at 40ºC above ambient and a sempron140 12ºC bellow.
Going against everything that I read about it I tried to do what kikicoco1334 first wanted and I made a sandwich.
I hadn't read this thread before doing it =P so just to report what I'm facing here.
My original Idea came from a different concept. I wasn't going to make a sandwich, I was thinking about putting them two side by side. When I asked the only Brazilian block designer and maker about a cooper plate to put them inside he told me to be impossible to fit it on any mb. I agreed that and he came up with the idea of sandwiching them... As he was unable to build my plate I went to a DIY way.
I bought a pack of square cooper shins, some arctic adhesive thermal grease and build a sandwich of two 6x6 peltiers.
My scheme was a small layer of cooper a little bigger than the CPU, then a layer covering entire Peltier cold base, than a symmetrical layer between both peltiers and I would use a H100 directly on the top of the second peltier.

For few seconds I know it work. I couldn't test it on a cpu because I couldn't get wire good enough to survive more than 30 seconds turning the top peltier on.
I thought weird not being able to keep the system on using a single PSU, both peltiers shut down a Corsair 550w and 650W so I needed to plug each in different PSUs even seeing that they don't pull more than 65w from the network. And only the peltier directly attached to the H100 is melting the wires... I'm a bit afraid of soldering the metal plugs directly to the original wires and end up melting down my PSU's wire... I don't know.

Is it possible to melt my psu wires plugging this top peltier directly to it? This is where I got stuck...

I just wanted to see if I could gain any degree doing all this craziness..
