About the only people using peltiers are serious overclockers. If you put them inside a server (especially a small one like 1U or 2U), they'll have to be powered from the internal power supply on the 12v rail. Peltiers suck a bit of power, and with a ~200-250W PSU in a 1U/2U server, your peltiers will take a fair percentage of that available power. Keep in mind that CPUs die very quickly if the fan on the hot side of the peltier fails. This could even be a potential fire hazard.... I'd definitely stay away from peltiers in a server application.
