"Coverted" Fermenter - I've seen the light!

I've got to confess that I am a converted fermenter. After lots of research and more experimenting, I have resolved to use an old freezer with the EXCELLENT Ranco thermostat suggested by Don. I could not get enough temperature differential drop out of the peltier even with fan-forcing. When I got to use parallel peltier devices it got expensive. I got a call from Maryann suggesting that I look on Baumgart on my way home. Cut a long story short for $20 I got a nice chest freezer which I can use for fermenting, lagering or serving + $50 for the Ranco - with superb control there is no real way to beat it.
Set it and Forget it!!!

Keep a lookout on Craigslist. I recently got a huge 20 cf chest freezer (way more capacity) for $100. I could probably gotten it cheaper, but I had them deliver it.
