Danger Den Black Series Tower 21 Case Review - Cases and Cooling 44

The Danger Den Black Series 21 Case is highly customizable and incorporates a unique mid-tower form factor that is unrivaled by any other modern PC cases available today. The most unique aspect of the Black Series 21 is its ability to house a triple 120mm radiator configuration on the front panel and a dual 80mm radiator on the back panel. If watercooling isn’t in your budget, this case also works well with air-cooled heatsinks up to seven inches tall.
