Well, a high-quality and high-performance CPU water-cooling system still costs a round sum of money even today, just like it did before. The famous precursors of the new era of affordable water-based CPU cooling were the Aucma Cool River and the Poseidon kits. The former was a three-component and relatively compact system that could cool not only the CPU but also the chipset’s North Bridge and the graphics card. The Poseidon in its turn was the first affordable water-cooling kit, priced at below $100. So, these two systems opened a whole new market of such devices which is flourishing nowaday..
