I wished i could order from the us store... The currency in DK makes it about 3000 Danish kroner more expensive to buy from the EU store O.o
In my world that is sadly to much money :S as it is almost equal to buy a whole new 4870x2 card.

I registered on this site purely because of this thread! (like many others it seems!)
Charles and Nils, you have really turned things round in the pc modding world - and you have totally changed what used to be just 'a box' to contain a pc into a work of art!
And the new Murdermod website link for those who asked is really well done - no wonder it took a while to perfect.
My only slight gripe is that 995 Canadian Dollars is quite a lot for a case (~£500), but given the amount of time and effort that goes into each case, it is something that I would be prepared to spend. However as I am from the UK, I can only purchase the case from the EU site - and that is 995 Euros!! (~£775)!! Why is the EU site more than 50% more expensive? :eek: I can understand import taxes and shipping from Canada - but ~£275 (More than the cost of a standard TJ07) extra pushes it totally out of my reach :(
I have been really wanting one of these since I first saw this thread, but it looks like that dream is no more .. :(
same. But i'm not prepared for the UK to be f*cked over again. Quite a shame really. Dread to think what the no optical drive one with orange stripes will cost like. Ahhh well, dream over, good work thou.
congratulation great site and of course mod. I've been following the thread for a month now and happy to see the site launched. Certinally will buy somthing for my tj07(doesn't everybods in XS owens at least one tjo7)?.
Thanks for your comments, feedback and support, Guys. :)
It feels great to finally have the site up and running and thanks to Nils, everything is working flawlessly. We’ve now shifted our focus to filling out the product line, especially the murderware section. Nils and I are very pleased with how things are going but there’s no time to rest – we’ve got orders to fill and new products to prepare!
We know some people are finding the prices higher than they may have anticipated. The truth is, we’ve chosen to enter the market with only the highest quality products and the pricing simply reflects that. Often times, when one goes about planning to extensively mod a case, they don’t take into account all the details and what they will cost. Invariably, when all is said and done, much more is spent than what was originally conceived. In the case of the murderMod TJ07, we provide not only the “canvas”, but also the details needed to help make the build look amazing. This way, one can focus on components, layout, and designing and assembling the LC loop(s); and not so much on the fear of dremelling off the end of a finger or catching a red-hot chunk of aluminum in the eyeball. :wth:
Obviously, murderMod isn’t for everyone – there are many Enthusiasts who choose to DIY and that’s great. What we offer are products for people with uncompromising standards and choose not to do some of the mod work themselves; or to hunt down and locate local fab shops that may or may not produce parts they’re happy with. You know how the saying goes: “if you want something done right, you’ve got to do it yourself”. Well, we live by this ideal and ultimately that’s what murderMod is all about. You don’t have to do it yourself – we can do it for you, and we’re confident you’ll be happy with the results. Wow, that sounded like marketing speak, but I don’t know how else to say it.
Some people have voiced concerns over the European shop pricing in comparison to the Canadian pricing. We did exhaustive analysis in this area and concluded that the two shop system we have in place, is the most practical and cost effective solution for our Customers. It wouldn’t be cheaper for someone in say, the UK to buy from the Canadian shop despite how it may appear on the surface. There are many factors that converge to make it a cut and dry case for having two distinct shops. For one, shipping from Canada to the UK for a murderMod TJ07 would be $328 and that’s using the custom box and packaging we’ve developed and not the massively huge, original TJ07 box. That sucker would make it well over $400! Another factor is that you’d still have to pay applicable taxes and likely import duty, depending on where you live. In the case of the European shop, the taxes are already included in the price as by law. If you lived in the UK and bought from the Canadian shop, you’d still have to pay the 17.5% VAT. What isn’t even close in the analysis is the cost incurred in the event of a return – this alone tips the scale dramatically towards the need for a European store for our European Customers.
Sorry for the long, rambling post – I assume that if you got this far, you were interested in this stuff and I hope I’ve addressed some of your concerns; now I’ll get back to work.
Cheers All. :)
thanks for the info charles. any time frame on when the sleeving and other murderware parts will become available? im not trying to rush you by any means, take your time. i was just curious so i know when i can start throwing money at you like you were a high class stripper :lol:
And high-class he is! :D
charles is a fancy man. and he does fancy things.
Can't wait for the "Murderware" to be there...*waiting patiently* ^^
Nice of you to take the time to answer everyone's questions and congrats on the site, it looks fantastic.Quote:

about the prices... they look expensive on first sight but after building about half a year on my own project to get to a point where i´m 95% agree with it just from the design i can absolutly understand those prices. the murdermod looks to me like a 100% perfect case and we all know ... 90% is easy, 98% is very hard, but 100% is almost impossible to reach.

(we´ll have to talk about the pics... :p: )
Great looking webpage and products too! I think a metal serpentine top grill would look great too, just a suggestion ;)
registered! hehehe even though i have no idea how i could pay :D
haha sameQuote:

It's the newest upcoming Foxconn X58 MB, called "Blood Rage". Excellent color scheme, and it just screams: "Murder Me!" It might be the next board to go inside my murderMod.

Thanks for the comments Guys!
The positive support and feedback we've received has been overwhelming. You guys are amazing and really motivate us to keep working our butts off to get the site filled ASAP. :)
Hey Tox, the MDPC-X sleeving shipment from Nils is a few days overdue - hopefully it will be here early next week. When it arrives, I'll put the packs together, take some product photos and get them to Nils so he can do his magic on the website. Unfortunately, I have to return the camera I've been borrowing the past 6 months; I'll have to beg/steal/borrow another one. :DQuote:

The fully modded and equipped Murdermod TJ-07 case leaves the competition way behind. The things I like the Murdermod TJ-07 case is the impeccable execution of the add-on parts coupled with an excellent execution.
For those of you who do not frequent the water cooling section I currently have a build log featuring Charles's MurderMod pieces......things of beauty they are!

Enjoy :up:
Quick question about the clean midplate with regards to tubing routing. I notice that the hole is quite a bit smaller (or at least it looks smaller) than the one that comes with the standard tj07. Is there still space to route tubing to potentially two rads in the bottom section of the tj07?
you would have to cut your own holes to route the tubingQuote:

Would you consider allowing those outside of the EU, US, CAD to choose their dispatching shop?Quote:

Hey cobra_kai; (love that name btw), as Dangals say's, the clean midplate is designed for you to drill your own tubing holes. The idea was to keep the midplate looking "clean" since you see it though the side window and I'm not a fan of the big 'ol generic openings of the original midplate.Quote:

Whoooops sorry I didn't know that you had done that :clap: Well then I cant wait till SA is also routed that way. Thanks Charles. :up:Quote:

Jim Morbid: If you live outside the EU, then 19% go off of the price. During Checkout you would then see 813€ instead of 995€. Because the Shop is based in Germany, by law I have to show ("including 19%") when you are not logged in and the shop does not know where you are from.
Anyways as Charles said: Our goal is to provide the best options for everyone and therefore we will look over this again :)
For '"the big thing" it might be cheaper at the moment because of currency-strenghts and weaknesses. On the other hand for small items that will come up there might be an advantage for the EU if you are from SA. For "the big thing" you can always send us a personal mail until we have figured out all the currency- and shipping-related issues for all countries. Just get in touch with us :)
