Product: DD-GTX470 Satin Copper Smoke Acrylic Top
Review: These ROCK on Metro 2033 in three-way SLI and 100% fan speed my temps hovered around 100ºC. With these blocks, an MCR320 and a Magicool 140 Slim, my phenom 965@4GHZ + 3GTX 470's hover at 45ºC on load and my cards are about 50ºC on load. Yet another kickass product from the folks here at DangerDen. I would HIGHLY recommend their Fatboy fittings @ 1/2ID as these blocks seem to really like a LOT of flow.

Product: DD-5970 Water Block
Review: Overall nice product. Does what it says, for that I love it. I ordered 2 and one of the blocks G1/4 threads wasn't tapped completely through. When installing my Xfire fitting, it bottomed without the o-ring touching the face and ruined the fittings finish when the coin slipped. I had to change the plugs/fittings around to make that block work. QAQC should have caught this.

Product: DD - Water Box Plus
Review: I bought a DD - Water Box Plus in 2007 and it has held up quite well. Overall, I am happy with the case, but it is not a piece of cake to work with.
The issues I've run into over the years are:
1. Upgrades and changes to components inside the case are not easy. In some cases, almost a complete disassembly will be required (hard disks in particular).
2. This thing will accumulate dust fairly quickly and cleaning is not easy. Since the case is clear, you probably don't want a bunch of clumps of dust showing. I hope you have a powerful air compressor, you're going to need it and patience to keep this thing clean.
3. No provisioning for external radiators/tubing. I run two passive Zalmann radiators and run the tubing external. Zalmann does have tubing and slot covers that can be used, but I don't like it because it make maintenance too difficult. What I did was cut a 'rib' out of one of the air vents in the upper-left of the back (above the ATX back plate connector mask where the keyboard, usb, network ports are). I route tygon tubing through that area and it's big enough to pull the tubes with their connector nipples through.
4. All sides of the case are held together with screws and nuts. Generally this works pretty good, although some of the holes are slightly out of alignment and you have to keep everything loose until you get all of them together, then tighten them all. This is tedious. Also it is very easy to accidentally knock a nut into the assembled case during the close up, and then you have to disassemble a side to get one nut out - so take care to avoid wasted time.

Product: DD **Double Wide Tower** - 21 Black Series Edition
Review: Great case it beats out any other case that I know of in my city. Some issues with hole configuration matching a product in the 5.25 bay so do your home work before buying other products, also some difficulty finding mounting screws the right length for front, fans, and rads (in that order). Not D.D.s fault us modders will always do something they can't prepare for, but if you prepare they are very helpful to find you a solution. If you want something that will blow peoples minds and is easy to work on I highly recommend this. This case is maybe 50$ more than much of the high-end retail competition but you get something these other cases cannot touch in class, quality, and customization. It is worth the money.

Product: Black Series - LDR Tower 29 - ** Double Wide **
Review: The case is very large. Lots of room to use for watercooling. The case design is really nice for the most part.
The only gripes I have is that in order to install two front radiators, you have to actually attach them to the radiator panel first, before adding the panel to the case. If you don't do this, in order to access all of the screw holes for the radiator (to make it secure), you have to remove the main front panel, side panels, and ceiling panel, and then remove the radiator panel and add your radiators. Very inconvenient and a very poor design flaw. Also, the side panels are not the fastest to remove out of the box.

Product: Low Profile MAZE5-GPU Block
Review: I bought this block for my Radeon 5870, as I've gotten tired of the noise the stock cooler makes. I know DD makes a block specifically for this card, however I do no believe in all in one coolers. Most of the heat in a video card is produced by the core, and spreading it to the rest of the card (power regs, and RAM) hardly strike me as a good ideal.
With this block on in a loop with a Laing DDC 350, swiftech silent pro 240 radiator, and tdx cpu block, my Radeon's core idles just a hair over the water temperature, and at full load rarely exceeds 40C. The voltage regulators run about the same as with the stock cooler, and the memory and overall PCB is MUCH cooler.
The one downside however, is that this block was frustrating to install. I've often cursed and slandered DangerDen for calling threaded rods a "mounting kit", but in this case, threaded rods that I could pre install into the block would have been a huge improvement over the screws they provided that had to be installed from the underside of the card while holding the block in place.

Review: After trying a few tubing types out, this stuff is the way to go. Put the ends in boiling water like Khriez said and they slip on pretty easy, but seal like nobody's business. I'd recommend buying extra since it is cheap, and you will not want to put a used piece back on since it stretches to fit on the 1/2" barb.

Product: DD Tower - 12 Black Series
Review: I found out about this case on the PDX lan forums, and was at the time looking to transition towards a smaller form factor both for power, and noise reasons. I really like this case design due to it's small footprint, but ability to run enough fans at low RPM to keep the insides cool. The ability to fit 3 hard drives is something that was paramount for me as I move a lot of media, and needed that 3rd bay. After a year of using the case, I can say that overall I am quite happy with it, both for its aesthetics and it's functionality. I feel that the design was perhaps a tiny bit rushed, as there are some "bowing" issues with the acrylic side panels as they didn't take into account the spacing offset for the HDD screws, but other than that cosmetic oversight, I have been very happy with this case. And having used it as my primary desktop system for just over a year, I must say "Great Job DD!"

Product: DD - LAN Tower - 450W
Review: Excellent case, especially if you are looking for something a little more portable. I went from a CM HAF-X, which I could barely move...
A few things that might save you a headeache...
The fans you need are 120mmx25mm - DO NOT get 35mm or 38mm, you will run into your HDD's. Also, the fans need to have an 'open' screw hole, not a closed. This is due to how DD has you mount the fans.
When it comes to video cards, make sure you know how long they are. You have about 12 inches to work with AFTER you put the fans in. That 12 inches includes your power connector(s). On-the-side power is preferable, however this case is set-up in a BTX config, so your spacing will be tight against the back wall.
For CPU cooling, you actually have a surprising amount of room available to you, though you won't be able to drop some massive tower style cooler.
To give you an idea of performance in this case...I am using the following:
Foxxcon H67S Mobo
Core i5 2500k (Sandy Bridge)
8GB RipJaws @ 1333
Crucial 64GB SSD (SATA III)
WD Caviar Green 2TB
ASUS 5850 1GB
Overall, this machine is performing better than a lot of my Crossfire rigs.
I would probably change out my card for a 560Ti now that they are available. Same performance, but are about 2 inches shorter than the 5850.
Fun Build, HIGHLY Recommended!

Product: External 3 x 360 Radiator and Pump Case
Review: This case is great for moving your liquid cooling away from your computer parts. This allows you to have more radiators and keep your system cooler. I used it to make my system quieter by adding more radiators and going with quieter fans.
Beware when you purchase this that there is no front panel to the case. It's exposed and that was a concern for me as I have a cat. The idea of her getting into a fan or the electrical mess at the bottom was frightening. I turned the case to face the wall to prevent this.

Even when all four case fans are on silent mode (Asus Fan Expert Crosshair IV Formula), I still couldn't here them at all. Very pleased with quality, industrial grade units. Worth every penny!!!

Product: MC-TDX Block for LGA 2011, 1155, 1156, 1366 i3, i5, i7
Review: I started having heat issues with my 5 year old x6800 system and finally gave in to head to Micro Center. I decided to go with the Corsair 700d case for an i7 870 that I wanted to be my first water cooled set up. I purchased the MC-TDX for the 1156 as the core of the system with the D5 pump and 360 rad. I was able to have a stable OC to 4.3Mhz with the fans at full and a temp of 83C on prime 95 for an hour. This block was simple to install on my Asus P7P55D-E Mobo and the included barbs handled the 1/2 ID tubing with out a drip. I backed my rig down to 4Ghz to give me a little more room to max TJ and back off the fan noise. Been stable as a rock with idle ~25C and 100% load ~78C. Great block, very happy I went with DD for my first WC attempt!

Product: Eheim 1250 (Discontinued)
Review: Great pump. I've had it for 6 years and finally failed. Which It failed due to my error. Probably would have ran for another 5 years. Was cleaning out the system and when I was filling it back up. I let a pocket of air get to the pump due to the reservoir running out of water. Which I wasn't able to unplug it fast enough. So it was trying to pump air for to long. Unplugged it, and now when I plug it back in. Nothing.
I've had more than 6 feet of tubing on this pump and never had issues.
This pump pumped through a 5 1/2" reservoir, cpu water block, video card water block, 3 120mm radiator. All doing it from 5 feet below from where the computer is.
I will probably be buying me another one here this week.
Very solid pump and I strongly recommend it. Specially for those using it for exeternal water cooling system.

I have not come across better built radiators than DD, some are equivant but none are better. Only thing I would do to improve this is tap the mounting holes with 4mm threads.

Review: A well-priced quality radiator. After the wondeful experience of using one for my CPU loop, I purchased another to run a 2nd loop for my GPU. Both perform wonderfully, the first holding a 5c/11c temperature delta @ idle/load on a PhenomII 965BE clocked from 3.4 to 4.032GHz, and the second holding a 3c/15c temp delta @ idle/load on an XFX 5970BE clocked from 725/1000MHz to 850/1200MHz. Other radiators may perform better, but I would only a more expensive one if I had space limitations, these work perfectly for me.

Product: DD-5970 Water Block
Review: Overall a wonderful product, lowered temps from 45C/80C idle/load, to 22C/35C. Cooling efficiency is excellent. However, I found on an XFX Black Edition there is a 1/8" airgap between the block and one of the VRMs. I solved this by wedging a shim of copper in the void and adding thermal paste, but be careful. This minor discrepancy has little impact on my overall experience. Just a little FYI, as the block is extremely efficient and does better than I would've hoped.
