Introduction:

Danger Den is known to be a top competitor in high quality water cooling parts and accessories. This last year, they have released a number of great new products like the recently reviewed Danger Den DD-29XT VGA water block. That cooler alone dropped the max load temperatures a huge 49% over the stock cooling solution. That is impressive and exactly what you should look for in a good water cooling solution.

Today, Danger Den has supplied us with more than just a water block for review. The Danger Den Water Box Plus acrylic enclosure and Water Box Plus water cooling kit are two separately available products but are designed to be 100% compatible with each other.
