Orange Crush @ murderMod

Hello XS!

I had registrated myself because of Charles murderBox for Daniel. I love his work and i love his perfection in every detail and the support he give BIG THANKS CHARLES ;). But the Love with the TJ07 started a long time before. I had 3 TJ07 before having the luck to get a murdermod build. So i started my idea of a Orange murderMod with the color of the Fords Focus ST, the Electrical Orange from Ford. A lot of work is done, but after a hit in my private life i thought about closing this project. So i had to sell my displays my sleeved PSU to help my girlfriend. But the worst time is over an til now it only could get better ;)

Yeah, i'm a german quy :D I hope i can bring my english to a higher level :) Sry for that!

Hey Bundy, nice to see you here and yes, it is a good modding assistand, he comes in every small area of the case :D

Thanks for the language information ;)

Yes i had to sell it because of some people in my family to support them with money and time. But it is too long for telling you the hole history here in the Thread ;) When you want to know it, write a pm ;)

Looks great so far Marcus!

Eagerly waiting for more updates :)

love new mM :)

following this worklog @ hardwareluxx.de, nice to have it here too

I love that orange. :)

Interesting build ya got goin there Loupi! Keep it up dude! :)

One thing though, are you using speaker wire to extend your PSU wiring?? If so, speaker wire isn't rated for high amperage and you could end out with some smoldering wires or possibly a little fire. Might be better to use some 16 or 18 gauge hookup wire from Frys or Radio Shack. That cable is rated for higher amperage.

Thanks for that information autobot! Very good to know^^

Looks good so far!

nice hamster, nice build, subd :up:

subd..

Subd ! :)

Cheer "murdermod" Mate :D

@ all thanks ;) In January the case will send to the painter. I tried it with a devilbiss airbrush, but i didn't win the fight against the dust and the small fly. It should be perfect, so a professionel should do that ;)

thats the way the color would look like(only the basic color without the effects)

http://www.abload.de/img/img_7502z1bw.jpg

http://www.abload.de/img/img_7500b3oc.jpg

@Seu: It is a TJ07 with murderMod parts and not the full case :)

NICE, xtremly NICE ;)

keep working!

Awesome love the paint job you did.

Nice Job...Hope you better with the sleeving...;)

Wow, great job so far. :)

very nice,but the car (ford focus)its from holland,not germany,nice car.

thanks @all :)

@mit78: Thank you! I never said that it is produced in Germany, but all information i found said, that the Ford Focus ST, shown in the picture, is produced in Saarlouis(Saarland) Germany.

number plate is from holland,thats i say!
i have a focus but is from 2009,and his a sedan 1,6 tdci 110cp,i am very satisfied about this car.
Good luck and wait for more pictures!

ah okay ;) now i know what you mean ;) Sry for that misunderstanding.

Here are two pictures of the modded and inlay-milled acryl:

http://www.abload.de/img/img_80042tl8.jpg

Looks great Marcus and nice Mascot!

It's very good to see you working on the build again my friend. :)

Nice to see you here Charles! Yes, now all old problems are solved and i can go on slowly. But i can go on and thats important :D

Ooh, cute mascot! Looks great so far, keep it up!

I have some news, good and bad ones.

First, the good update. I had found two partners who support me on my way.

Big Big thanks goes to Eddy from EK waterblocks, who supports me with the great looking and awesome water blocks and accessories.
http://www.abload.de/img/ek-logo1-blackexn7.jpg


Jochen is the second quy, i want to say Thank You. He supports me in any questions and water cooling parts.
http://www.abload.de/img/header53c9.jpg


Big Thanks to you!!


Now i have to come to the bad update. The painter is very busy because of the crashed cars in the winter. I hope to get it painted until the end of february!

The worst fact is, that i can not do so many without the painted case. For the switch mount and the light i need the case. I only can work on the Mainboardtray.

That is it so far. Thank you guys for following my project!

cheers
Marcus

Nice build so far. I remember seeing something Orange at HWluxx. The Focus ST is an awesome car and i do like the color, shame it has a Volvo engine though. :down:

I think that the "Murdermod Spirit" who is important ! not the money you spent on it :)

i will follow you rig ! :) cheers :)

cool color

nice Project my friend ;)

Very nice indeed !

Glad I have the money to stand on my own feets tho (no critic to this project meant) my first project is just a contribute - things will change :)
Anyway - gotta love this theme ! might be that I do one for my Subaru in the future :ROTF:

MurderMod spirit is all over the thread ;) i love Charles work!

@Main: Subaru has nice cars ;) The color has to be wrx blue :D ... Yeah thats great for your project, i will follow it and wait for updates, realy great work you have done!

Today i found freetime for cleaning up my room and then my co-inhabitant and i had a feaky idea :D Today he got a new Canon EOS 7D and so he want to play a little bit with the new one :D following fotos are not formed, because i have not so much time at the moment.

First a big thanks to my old system. Yes, it looks a little bit scary but you have to know, it is 8 years old. The fans not, but the rest :)
http://www.abload.de/img/img_8249qu05.jpg

Now the idea:

found a new reservoir?!
http://www.abload.de/img/img_82431uaz.jpg

http://www.abload.de/img/img_826436d5.jpg
what do you think about the color?^^

tomorrow there will be a video made by the Canon 7D.

cheers,
Marcus

That Rockstar juice can is really from Rockstar editor of Gta4?
Great colour .. :cool:

Keep this updated !

i don't know if it is from Rockstar Games^^

here is the little video made by the Canon 7D of the photo setup.

Today i got a call from my painter. Yes it is true, i can bring my Case to the painter next weekend :D *yippie* ... buuuuttttt the mesh from the lower part of the case will take the journey with the case. The holes in the Mesh destroy the font. I do not like it and so it will get a complete black color.

here you can see the result:
http://www.abload.de/img/img_8274w7j0.jpg

hmmmnnn ... maybe it looks different in person - I think it looks fantastic in the mesh!

yes, thats the bad truth, it looks different.

Hi Guys, today i started with removing the old paint for my painter. So i found the real hot-rod-used paint :D so i hope i will finish it this weekend and let the case go out to the painter next week. But now... here are some shots:)

great! for Bioshock mod :D

Nice work mate, I am glad that everything is now starting to working out for you. :up:

I noticed that your side window looks like it is mounted on the inside, is that right?

If so is that standard or has it been changed.

Mine is on the outside, it's the V 2.6 version and I fully intend to change it.

Looking forward to the next update. :yepp:

thanks mates ;)

My window is mounted on the inside, thats right. But it is not the standart one. I have a inlay milled Window, so that you can mount it on the inside, but it fits nicely outside. So you have one surface without a "hole" for the window.

Thats my window:

top notch window :eek: I wish I had capability to make it like that

i don't have the capability too. Because every thing has to fit 100 percent regarding the window and the sidepanel. I got it from a milling company.

Thats my case at the moment. It is ready for the painter, so let it go^^

http://www.abload.de/img/img_8440l0ns.jpg

Thanks for the photos ipuoL.
This is exactly what I intend to do to my door as it looks so much better this way.
I have the standard window on my new TJ07 and the window is mounted on the outside with small screws that are taped into the door.
However as the perspex is clear I might buy some perspex that has a slightly smoked colour and just leave the standard on alone.

Is your window a smoked colour also?

WOW, what a fantastic build so far. I'll surely keep an eye on this one. I LOVE the MurderMod projects. I just wish I could afford half the parts. They have such amazing stuff there. I keep my old Tj07 around just for the time when I can add something cool from them.

Cant wait to see this painted.

Yes, this is dark grey colored and you can see through it when there is an illumination behind.


@Detale: Yeah, Charles work is so incredible. I wanted a elegant mod and Charles parts are the best for it :) Detailed in every corner.

@Kenjiwing: i can't wait to see it too^^... i feel like a little child before birthday :D

today i sleeved two switches for the frontpanel. black sleeve with orange background. The sitches are for the slight and for the other leds.


http://www.abload.de/img/img_8613aq6w.jpg

http://www.abload.de/img/img_86153r9u.jpg

today i made orange juice and yes, i am a little bit crazy, but i put sth on the case :D

http://www.abload.de/img/img_8622x2ov.jpg

http://www.abload.de/img/img_8626i2i4.jpg

aaaa orange candy :shocked::shocked::shocked:

sweet :)

juicy!

This is so Candy, me like alot, nice work, mate.

looks über geil ! :D

Yummy - loving the new look!

Paint job looks great.. cant wait for osme more pics of it.

Orange is my new favorite color! Love the build, eager to see more!!!:up:

Thank you ;) it is the original Ford Electic Orange ;)

http://www.abload.de/img/img_8640x1dv.jpg

http://www.abload.de/img/img_8641s1sr.jpg

http://www.abload.de/img/img_864251v8.jpg

Looking great :up:. I think the text in the mesh is probably the best detail in the case! It really fits it. And of course the color is really unique and I love it :D. Good job

That orange is just unreal.

murderOrange :)

Absolutely gorgeous. I agree that the text on the mesh looks fantastic. I'm glad to see you decided to keep it.

That look just dead sexy mate. :up::up:
I really like the fact that it is high gloss, really nice. :yepp:
Deffenetly well worth the effort of sanding it all back.
I am also glad you chose to leave the writting on the mesh, I feel it adds character and a personal touch, well, ok another personal touch then. :rolleyes:

That color is just fantastic, pops right out of the picture. Very nice, Im looking forward to some components and watercooling! =)

Where did you get it painted? i've been wanting to get my case done in red..... where did you goooooooooo?!

Looking good can't wait to see the rest..

That is such a great colour especially in the close up shots. It shows of the stunning finish.
The text on the black mesh goes so well with the rest of your case. Excellent work. :up:

Something has been bugging me - the connection between the "Orange Crush" and murder ... I know it wasn't part of your theme, but I finally figured out what it was -

http://shazza53.smugmug.com/Computer...74_w99Nf-M.jpg

Tim Dorsey writes murder mysteries that take place in Florida ... sorry for the off topic.

I absolutely love the way your case has come out - now, it's going to be fun to see what you do with the inside.

thanks to all ;) its realy a honor to get such compliments. Today i worked 3 hours at the faceplate and it don't fit in the front. I remove thin layer for layer at the right and left side, but till now it don't fit and i do not know where i should remove sth^^... lets see what the next day will bring...

excellent work

nice to see another take on murdermod

Insane color :clap:

I had a lot of problems with my faceplate, because it didn't fit. I removed the paint layers step by step the last 2 days and now the Faceplate fits... the next problem is the piece of alu, which is in front of the front usb and audio ports... it won't fit. So i have to work at the mounting of this alu piece, to let it fit.

Thats the way it looks like at the moment( THAT IS NOT MY HARDWARE!)
http://www.abload.de/img/img_873778nt.jpg

http://www.abload.de/img/img_8738b8m9.jpg

http://www.abload.de/img/img_87393jlh.jpg

And now to my big big problem. Yeah, whats a mod without problems^^ for every solution you find a new problem :D ... My Painter is well known for preparing old cars, but at computer cases it isn't that good. here you see why. Its the faceplate and the dvd-hole. There is too much material of 2mm thickness. The positiv fact is, that i have the original Paint here at home, so i can do it like spotrepair. Remove the material and paint it new.
http://www.abload.de/img/img_8740j8jf.jpg

That orange color is sick! I love it! :)

Thankfully to your project I have already decided to give up all this boring black and grey colors and to go with green in my next build :D

Between the learning sessions for my last physics test @university i remove paint layer for paint layer and then the alu itself. The piece of Alu in front of the front usb and audio ports had to be smaller and so i removed nearly 3mm of the alu and finaly it fits. So i have to repaint it and then it would be perfect.

Big Thanks to Eddy and EK for their support and so see the little windows. One has the EK logo.

http://www.abload.de/img/img_919691ey.jpg

Thank you so far ;)

tremendous.

wow, just wow :eek:
superb case

Love it !!!

Great painting , its awesome , congrats on the sponsors

:up: amaza-zing!

Wow, that EKWB logo looks intense!

niiiice :up:

:shocked::shocked::shocked: ... just PERFECT ! Hope my TJ07 will look just as wonderful as yours :rolleyes:

That lighting and the writing on the mesh look like they came with the case stock, very nice work. How did you do it?

That looks incredible!! Awesome job man :):)

thanks all ;) it was a long fight with the paint and the alu, but i won the 12 rpund fight with a k.o. in the end :D ...

Hi emir, I put a adhesive film on the mesh, in the way, that the letters could be seen, but the background ist black and would not get any paint.

here you see what i mean. All is covered, but not the letters:
http://www.abload.de/img/img_7416ex07.jpg

Then paint it^^white basic and then the orange and the effect paint ;)

But yours is the first ORANGE MurderMod and not the first, but the most impressive orange TJ07 I've ever seen ;)

Wow, an orange case is really something! And a MurderMod at that :) Nice work!

The new DFI DK P55 motherboard would look great with that case.

Ooops, my bad :D Sorry, wrong use of words. I want to ment the light, when asking how did you do it.

As i said before, the writing looks very nice too. Detailed job on that :clap:

do you mean the light behind the small window? it is an orange led snake :D

and the mesh is painted in orange

after prepairing the piece of alu it was painted with the original paint. Now it fits... :)

http://www.abload.de/img/img_9335dzrd.jpg

http://www.abload.de/img/img_9332pyx6.jpg

I know i've said it 3x already, but that orange is ridiculous, it's the nicest paint job I've ever seen on a case and I usually hate bright colors.

Amazing work.

The orange color is wicked, i love it! :up:

new Board, new CPU and new PSU ;) ... lovely Hardware :D ...

http://www.abload.de/img/img_9338i7l7.jpg

EVGA SLI LE ... I7 920 D0 and an Enermax Revo 85+

Man, the orange and black is unlike anything I've ever seen! Love it! :up:

Today the slight arrived and i am thinking ... wtf ... why does it looks so cool :D

*what is it*..*its a light*...*oh and what can it do*...*it lights up* :D

The color is beautiful, my friend. Well done !!!

That is spectacular!

The light is so even; no spots brighter or darker than others. How large and how hot does the light get?

Beauty :) Love the color :)
