DangerDen kit review
 

DangerDen kit review by Nexus Hardware.

Note the addition of a baffle in the DD res. (there is also an unusual/exceptional Hydor 20 pump leak).

Results? 5 deg C lower than an SLK-800 (using the ole' mobo test...), but it shows that under high heatloads, the DD kit fares much better than the HSF (6 to 10 deg C).

Nice. It's quite unusual that a 'high-end' (or 'hardcore' if you prefer) kit gets reviewed. Pleasing.

"This is one of the reasons you must run the setup outside the case for at least 24 hours. A single drop of water can be fatal!"

hehehe.. a little hype on that statement, but a very well written article. Since I am newer to the hobby, I wonder what the the other block and pictures of it can be found so I can see what they were comparing it to.
I personally have spilled ALOT of water on my agp card and ide cables not to mention the top of the block and cpu. I know its commonly claimed to run water leak tests for 24 hour. Isnt that overkill? If it doesnt leak for 20 minutes, im good to go!

Dont get me started on what happened to my $500 LSI RAID adapter........:eek: :eek:

overall i thought the review was pretty good, also liked the photo documentation that went with it, very clear. i'm just wondering about the incident w/ the hydor pump. would you guys support DD's statement about not knowing of any incidents like that previously, or have there been other bad experiences w/ that particular pump brand. i'm just curious b/c everyone seems to be praising eheims so much. basically, if the hydor (or another brand for that matter) is a resonable alternative to the eheim (at half the price), i'd like to hear about it. or is this just a matter of getting what you pay for? i'm pondering building my own WC rig after i build the computer fund back up again. any past experience or pointers to decent pump reviews would be appreciated. thnx.
hope that wasn't too far off topic there. :-)>

I've had a Hydor L30 for about 2 years. Works fine. No leak. Same fitting system as Eheim. Same flow characteristics. Maybe a bit noisier.
