That last part is the most important.

If by mainstream you mean gamers and college kids then don't forget all of the smaller OEMs (Alienware, Voodoo, Falcon) have water cooled systems. These companies cover a good portion of the market for people who buy the type of computer that would benefit from $100-250 of cooling (or should I say people who 'think' that the computer would benefit). The company I work for has met all your requirements with 3 designs but performance has suffered greatly.
