I've been watercooling my primary personal machine since [[Schwarzgerät_II|2020]]. It started off simple—a waterblock on my Threadripper 3970X, an EKWB reservoir+pump combo, and a Hardware Labs GTR360 radiator. A total of about $480 (not including fans), less than my motherboard cost. It is no longer so simple: the same machine in its [[Schwarzgerät_III_upgrade|current incarnation]] boasts a monoblock, a GPU block, a custom GPU backplane, four radiators, two reservoirs, four D5 pumps, two temperature sensors, two discrete inline sensors, and about twenty attachments of all kinds. There's <i>at least</i> $1000 worth of watercooling crap in there, and another $500 of fans. I guess you could say things are getting serious.
