My "murder" project.

[charles_h]

Thanks for the comments Guys. I know I keep saying that but I sincerely mean it. Like Fried Chicken said; your support and encouragement totally motivates me. This worklog is coming to an end soon but a new one will start, hopefully before the end of July. The project will be "pure|murderbox", a one-off creation I'm very excited about. It's going to be something.

MMmmm yum. Great pics. Personally i think it lacks colour, but then it's not my build is it. Amazing work with the sleeving too. One quick question; what tube clamps did you use?

It's funny you say it lacks color - I made a slight modification today that may just address that concern. All new pics coming soon.

As for hose clamps, I used mostly the resealable ones found here. Not because I wanted to be able to reseal them, but because they're wider than normal nylon tie wraps.

how do you mount the hdd ?? can you make more photo of that area ??

I use these critters painted black. Anyone who ever bought an internal zip drive knows what they are.

What is the direction of flow? It almost appears that if it's going into the cpu block first then it would be going in the outlet. Otherwise the pump is pumping into the reservoir.

The flow is pump>cpu>gpu1>gpu2>res>rad1>rad2

Charles, any chance you'll be offering the center piece (with the display) that separates the lower/upper section? I'll also be modding my TJ07 when I get it, but I won't be routing any cables throught the pre-manufactured holes.

Yes Martijn we will be. The only drawback with that configuration is you're limited, rad wise. The Matrix Orbital display has two PCBs and drops down a fair bit below the midplate. I cover the underside with a Hammond project box to clean it up. There's a slight modification required to the existing TJ07 midplate - I'll provide a template and detailed instructions. A couple more weeks and hopefully we'll be ready to start taking murderMod orders. We're still sorting out a few details.

Charles can we get some 1680 x 1050 flavour of those pics

Yes indeed. The finale pics are coming very soon and they will come in Wallpaper sizes.

I think only you, me, your wifey and your fish know how much effort you have put into this. It is really too bad that pictures are 1/10th of the story.

The other person being dualbrain of course. We actually came up with the sleeved hose idea simultaneously. Big announcement involving dualbrain coming soon on the murderbox website.

I'm attempting to sleeve an 24-pin extension just for practice...since I'm not ready to commit just yet...right now, having an awful hardtime removing the wires off the male end of the extension.
My cheapy Sunbeamtech 2-prong is not doing its job and I can't pull the wires out

It's all technique, the tool is not that critical. When I started doing sleeves, it took forever to get the pins out. After a bit of practice, it gets much easier. You'll see, once you get the hang of it they come out like butter.



Project Update: Leaks fixed. A few of the stopper fittings were lumpy. I replaced them and took the opportunity to make some tweaks to the loop. I also made another alteration that will have to be seen rather than explained in words. Some may dig it, some may not. I'm liking it so far but it can always be "undone". No need to guess - the finale worklog pics are coming very soon.
