This case is absolute art. The most impressive are the bay cover, the divider mounted LCD and the interiot paint job.

**fireice2** · 12-10-2007, 10:05 AM

after looking at this one, i'm thinking of redoing my loop.

**Matias23** · 12-10-2007, 10:42 AM

**Burn** · 12-10-2007, 01:31 PM

Got some good ideas from the Murderbox

I would love to see some more pictures of that thing, it's absolutely gorgeous.

@ Sinison, what diameter sleeving and heatshrink did you use to sleeve the SATA connectors?

**CyberDruid** · 12-10-2007, 01:33 PM

Kind of wondering about some of the unpictured details like HDD cooling...

The face plate is a great look.

With zero disrespect meant to the rigs that follow it, the next few pages are gonna seem kind of lame. That is an absolute work of art and gets my vote for rig of the year.

**rsmaverick** · 12-10-2007, 02:24 PM

All I can say is wow...That must have taken a very long time...

**NysoO** · 12-10-2007, 02:26 PM

Sinison, very nice case. How the hell do you get the pictures so perfect? What kind of lightsource? Staging?
More pics would be nice!

**CyberDruid** · 12-10-2007, 02:29 PM

The pictures are perfect. I want to see more details. Pop the other side please

**Zeus** · 12-10-2007, 02:32 PM

Everybody must be blinded by the beauty of this "murdercase" that noone sees it has the fuZion mounted upside down.

Other than that, it's a frikkin piece of art.

**Spawne32** · 12-10-2007, 02:40 PM

that is the sexiest thing i have ever seen, minus that 680i board.

**CyberDruid** · 12-10-2007, 02:45 PM

I like that faceplate.

**disruptfam** · 12-10-2007, 04:46 PM

yeah man is that photoshopped??

**Dooglas** · 12-10-2007, 07:06 PM

How long did it take to make the murderbox? You should sell those cases, they are beautiful.

**cegras** · 12-10-2007, 07:10 PM

I'm most interested in that panel you've got going there - what's the make and what can it do?

**DShankar** · 12-10-2007, 08:42 PM

Is there any more info on the Murderbox? Is it a custom case? Or a Lian-Li mod? Anything? I'm dying in my own dr00l man!

We are working on some more pics (dark ones to show the UV) and the website will go up soon.. there is no photoshop work outside of cleaning noise and color correction. The picture are just taken with a Nikon d70s with a 28mm lens and one soft light.. the computer sits on a table with a seamless back taped to the wall... thats what makes it look so clean.. its just a very nice piece of wallpaper really

We basically wanted to take what is a great very high-quality stock case and make is something unique and special. There are a lot of small details that I knew only this community could appreciate or even see. I have been a long time lurker and as someone who has taken a lot of great tips from this forum I was excited to show the finished product off before the site and public get to see them.

There is quite a bit of custom fab work the for the front plate and so on (the top little round detail at the top of the front plate acts as a touch button to open the CD tray)

Hard drive cooling... there are 3 drives mounted vertically under the DVD with a low speed 120mm fan on top.. there is one 120mm fan in the top grate we have done everything to kill the machine while keeping it as quiet as possible under extreme loads. We have had no issues with flow rates or temps with the loop configured like this.

The screen is a Matrix Orbital USB item. We have it set up to rotate thru system vitals (FPS, all temps for CPU,GPU,Disks etc.. drive usage,Clock speeds)
http://www.matrixorbital.com/

Currently it has a 6600@3.2 and a 8800 Ultra OC'd a bit. (praying for an Extreme price drop soon

)

The case can be configured with the MB on either side depending one how you like it, I prefer this way as its unique and opens the case up quite alot visually.. (the flipped is the much more difficult configuration

)

Assembly is not that bad, the hardest part is being methodical and slow with all the anodized items. The R&D to get this case from stock to this has been a long and grueling process.. the rigs eventually will be built for some locals here basically as custom built top of the line type rigs.. its the start of a small business for a friend and me, and we have put a great deal of time and effort into it to get it to this point..

Oh and in the shot of the Matrix screen you can spot some of the lighting.. the case has full UV lighting but its all pretty hidden..

I think every case in the post is great.. modding is a very fun and personal thing.. there are some pretty crazy and great rigs here..

You have a lot to answer for

Thank you

If you have any questions, you can PM me. It'll be a pleasure to answer them. When i get time :rolleye: Heh

PS: Mountainmod.com for those cube cases.

**adidassler** · 12-11-2007, 01:55 AM

Great Post!

That's exactly what I was curious about. Man you slipped that UV lighting right past me...I still don't see it: WIZARDRY! And the HDD Cooling: Brilliant

Thanks for confirming the display..I thought it might have been a Matrix...

Again: impressed me immensely.

I must step up my game!
