Thanks Charles!! But why a 3 prong switch, I didn't see an LED on it? What's the 3rd prong for? And seriously, you should take pictures of all angles, they could be used as guides. . . ^^

Everything looks awesome. :D

Thanks for the desktop wallpapers, I am using it for both my desktop and laptop now. :)

stunning and imaculate:clap::up::up::up:

Charles, what's the back switch for? leds?

Powder coat would be a thicker layer. I believe anodizes the aluminum parts, in my opinion, is the absolute best way to do it. He may actually powder coat the motherboard tray, but I'm not sure.

I know for a fact he powder coats. He's working on mine as we speak, and he sent me this message in an email:

Hey Jason,

I’m just about to drop your parts at the powder coat shop to get shot with black.......

---

So yes, it's powder-coated

Thanks for the comments guys. :)

As stated, I do indeed powder coat all the innards. The only anodized piece is the the front plate. I agree that anodizing looks amazing but without in-line finishing (brushed effect), its brutal for finger prints. I found a black I really like called "solar black". IMHO, it's the bee's knees.

There actually is an led on it, you prolly didn't notice because it was out of focus.

I'll be doing a much more detailed build log of my next project. It'll be a one-off creation called "pure|murderbox". The concept is done, I just need some free time. I'm hoping to start by mid July. Believe me, it'll be fat with photos. :)

aye, for the internal lighting.


I feel like I'm hyjacking the thread by posting pics of the fanta murderbox in FC's build log. One of these day's I'll make a thread of my own. That being said, I thought I'd post a couple wider shots with wallpaper sizes -since I've had a few requests.

The next pics will definitely be Fried Chicken's build!

The wiremanagement is top-notch. What I really like and apreciate is the clean look of the system and deffinately has the feel of a custom built pc.

Charles awesome pics.

What camera/lenses are you using and what settings?

cheers mate

Dang, the Murderbox looks fantastic. Head to head against a MM U2-UFO.

Proudly living in Vancouver.:woot:

Nice build!

I love the colour choose!

Regards!

i believe the term is epic win.... i want to marry the fanta box!

hahaha now it's really officially called the "Fanta MurderBox" :rofl:

by the way Charles, what color led lights you using?

the orange loop color looks sickly ... could you get other colors?

@charles

I really like how you used the 3rd fitting on the ek block as a fillport..

On the other murderbox i've seen blue, red, fanta :D , steffen murder mod is going to be green.

love it!

Charles, your sleeving job is absolutely perfect. Would you mind sharing some of your secrets? I have just a few detailed questions.

What brand of sleeving do you use? Any model numbers would be appreciated.

What size do you use for the power supply cables? What size of heat shrink tubing do you use for that size of wire?

You wouldn't happen want to share your part numbers with us here of where you get your accessories would you? ;-)

How do you sleeve the cable so perfect that you cannot see any color behind the wrapping? With all of the colors of wiring I always see just a tad here and there, but yours are perfect.

Any tips and details would be much appreciated I'm sure. I love the Fanta-box.

I went to murderbox.com and looked in the gallery and now I need to change my pants. I've never seen anything so awesome looking.
