Also, if you read the article on the product you pictured (retail price $129 + s&h) it is not a cooler in the traditional sense. Water is cycled through tubes to "cool" the air flowing through the fan and heat sink. If you want to cool the water you have to add a traditional cooler - peltier or compressor.
No, that's $100 for everything, It's a kit. It would take me the same amount of time to install it as it would take me to unbox and get the wine cooler ready for operation.

I know that the one I pictured is, I stated that before you posted this.

So you can buy a wine cooler for $150 shipped?
