Dangerden is well-known for manufacturing high-quality waterblocks
Water cooling hardware manufacturer Danger Den announced yesterday that is is to cease trading. A notice on the company's website states that the owners will be pursuing other interests.
The statement reads:
'
After 12 years our hobby has come to an end.
It’s time to pursue other interests and Danger Den will be closing its doors.
Thank you for all your support over the years,
we’ve enjoyed being part of your modding community.
~ Dan, Jeremy, Dennis, and Rokk'
Another statement mentions that from Halloween till 5th November, there will be a 75 per cent reduction in all sales.
Danger Den has been trading for twelve years, being registered in 2000 by Jeremy Burnett, Dennis Leach, and Dan Stephens. The company was one of the pioneers of off-the-shelf water-cooling components with waterblocks such as the Maze and RBX proving very popular.
The company also branched out into graphics card waterblocks, cases and reservoirs amongst other things and its products were available around the world.
Here's a small tribute to some of the great products Danger Den has sent our way over the years.

Although, I never realised where the company name came from until now.
Dan-Jer-Den :o
My first loop some 8 years ago was all DD... sad face.
To my eternal shame, up until recently I hadn't made the link between Linux, Linus Torvalds and Unix :o:o:o
So feel better about yourself.
Off topic, Sc0rian what did you do in a former life to earn neg rep? I've meant to ask a few times before.
I honestly have no idea My posting pretty much stopped in the last 3-4years, so must have been a long time ago. I blame dom__ (lol if he is still about)
You can go back 4 years on one page of my posts, haha.
Shame. I have used DD stuff and I was impressed.
Ruined it now I'm afraid
Also the 75% the article mentions is not a 75% drop in sales--it's a 75% off sale on all remaining inventory I believe.
But sad to see DD going out of business. A relative surprise to me.
What a shame :( got two of there blocks for my 580's
I still have a Danger Den waterblock on my GPU.
Probably the only chip I ever owned that needed water for a smallish O/C (unless you used those ghastly deltas!!)
I've been running DD-stuff ever since I first got into watercooling some 11 years ago, and I still have a couple of first gen DD-blocks sitting on my shelf. My CPU-block today is a silver TDX that I bought five years ago, and it still performs magnificently.
I also has a sad :( DD have been a go-to company for me since the very beginning. My own first loop was actually 80% Swiftech, but I'd been using DD parts in other builds for more than a year before that. I'll be really sad to see them go, they have had some awesome products over the years. I feel like making use of some of their limited edition blocks that I have tucked away for a tribute build now.
Anyone know where I could get my hands on a (DD) torture rack?
Shame to see you go DD.
Don't forget BFG.
