Since my first encounter reading about water cooling, Danger Den has always been
in every forum, comment, story, or system mod as the choice of extreme system
users. Of course, this was long before Phase and TEC cooling was even a viable
options. Countless enthusiasts have swore by any and everything Danger Den. Even
the name, Danger Den, just seemed to inspire creative thought. There has always
been something awe inspiring about what you could do with water cooling alone.
But, coupled with some of Danger Den's best, there just seemed to be no end to
the possibilities. If you had the cash on hand, you could spend days and days
setting up the ultimate water cooling system.
Based out of Astoria, Oregon, Danger Den is well known for a few of the top
performing water blocks and radiators. Their CPU coolers are among the top
performers based on reputation and endless recommendations. Among them are the
Maze4, TDX, and RDX CPU cooling blocks. What really stood out among many other
cooling blocks was the implemented Lucite block fabrication which can withstand
years of use. Other than the
copper base, the tops have been made of Lucite so you can see the internal design and
machining of the cooling blocks. This adds an excellent look to already well
made block.
Aside from the very cool blocks, radiators, and components, Danger Den also
realized that they needed some kind of enclosure or case that would provide a
better presentation. Since, most water cooling users like to show off their
systems, it seemed only fit to create a clear, acrylic line of enclosures would
be developed that had an original look over the contemporary square tower cases. Among
their current cases are the Water Box, Water Box Plus, Danger Den Air Box, and
Torture Rack. Being that I love a good, useful computer case, Danger Den has
been gracious in sending VH the
Torture Rack to better show you some of its
great benefits and features.
Specifications:
Danger Den Torture Rack
The Torture Rack was originally created for
internal Danger Den testing. A solution was needed that put the commonly changed
components on the top level and the rarely changed items (hard drives, CD
drives, PSU, etc.) on the bottom level out of the way.
The Torture Rack also has “wow factor” with
acrylic panels. The motherboard tray standard color is clear but is also
available in red, blue, green and yellow UV colors. An optional top and front
plate are also available for closing up the system after testing or for taking
it to a LAN party.
