a pelt is a cool little gismo that lets us get below ambient temps.
in essence, you pass a curent through the element and ne side gets hot and the other gets cold. you jam the cold bit onto the component and col the hot side... and hey-presto you've got a peltier or (TEC - Thermo Electric Cooling) cooled component!
thats a rather simplistic view, but gets the main idea accross... google it for better info
theres a cooler out there by thermal right that uses heatpipes and had a fan/rad on the top of the card... it's pasable for SLi setups ( i think) and does some nice work cooling too... i've yet to meet anyone thats used it though... just seen reviews etc
