Not sure if others have come across the "open source" PersonalPCR design, but it uses the same ideas you are all discussing here. Some major drawbacks include poor documentation and improper release of design files, such as the .pdf used for the all surface mount component control board. I would be very interested in building these if others are able to provide an eagle file for the board, as I have access to a fully outfitted Maker lab that would allow me to produce these for ~$100/ea in components. Honestly, if anyone comes up with a usable design along similar lines as this, I'd be interested in helping out with production.
-- Note that they also appear to be starting a company with the intent of taking the design closed source again: miniPCR.

No, the comparison analogy to make is riding a motorcycle with
no jacket in the desert. You overheat rapidly.
Forced air, not still air -- vigorous flow for high delta T.

Yes. Since we are dealing with often very small sample sizes, I am planning a machine
for those. It may need better than usual vials to conduct well and work at high delta T
rates.
