Companies are engineering new TEC-based products and wading them out to new market niches. Liquid cooling was once exotic DIY stuff, limited to the crazy elite, now it's common fare for enthusiasts and professionals, a standard option in mainstream prebuilt systems.
I'm hoping that some good TEC toys will appear in coming years. I'm not quite an innovator, but I am an early adopter.
But TEC consumes a lot of power, and - one way or another - all those Watts have to glow off rads and be blown away with fans. A downside on TEC which concerns me is that when electrical power is shut off (or just fails) the "cold" plate reaches equilibrium with the "hot" plate, meaning that all the heat pulled away from the CPU/etc gets dumped right back. A lot of thermal energy, considering one side can be sub-zero while the other side is hotter than max TDP. I don't think exposing silicon to such sudden and extreme temp shifts can be good.
