Danger Den Ready with Water-Blocks for GeForce GTX 480
Specialists with water-cooling, Danger Den is ready with its first offering for NVIDIA's GeForce 400 series. The block provides full-coverage to the obverse side of the PCB, cooling all critical areas such as the GPU, the memory chips, and the VRM area. Designed for the GeForce GTX 480, it is expected to come in three variants based on materials: 1. all-copper (pictured below), 2. nickel top and copper base, and 3. nickel-top and nickel-plated copper base. The top of the block will have mirror-finish. There is no word on an acrylic-top variant. The three are expected to be priced in the US $140-$150 range. Danger Den will release these by the end of the week, so users could have one ready by the time their GeForce GTX 480 arrives.

Why dont they get better picts of the bases ??????
If they are going through he trouble/cost of metal tops than they should have incorporated fins into it..
btarunr, who was the company that was selling the H20 tops with the cards from the factory? (that was a good looking cooler)
I dont think there is a chance but it would be cool to see a comparison of the Swifty and the DD..
These will sell like hot cakes, since air cooling is no longer sufficient. : sarcastic face :
Either way, the price of this block just goes to prove that the Evga factory watercooled 480 is not overpriced at $650. It would be my choice if I were going Fermi.
