My "murder" project.

[dualbrain]

Before I conclude, I’d like to take this moment to thank Nils (dualbrain) who I’m pleased to say, is now my new business partner in murderbox. I’m excited about the future and look forward to working with Nils.

This computer composition is dedicated to Nils – I had an issue with this build regarding the lack of black in the so called “black” coolant. The only solution I could think of to achieve the look I was going for was to braid the hoses in black sleeving. Nils had planned to create a machine with braided hoses but graciously suggested I go ahead and use the idea. This meant that his plans were now shelved since the idea would have already been done. Cheers Nils, and thank you for motivating me to do my best.

Charles thank you so much!



... no ... we are both in long term relationships with our girls! Our girls make it possible that we can play!

whoa whoa whoa what is all this shenanigans!

[Steffen]

Ohh, how sweet Nils!

[twwen2]

Haha Nils.

Thanks for the comments Guys, I really appreciate them!

is that res LED lite?

Ok, this is probably going to be a letdown but the red glow is in fact what is commonly referred to by many, as simply the sun.

It's the sun you see through the res. I actually thought about putting LED lights in there but nothing ever came of it.

One issue, however: This is, in the end, a Murderbox. But the acrylic top says "murderMod". You might want to change that top piece out for him. No biggie, though. Maybe you can just toss that bad boy on top of mine? *wink wink*

This is a good point and one I'm planning to address when they go to production. The murderbox ones will indeed have murderbox up there.

Not to criticise, you should use 1/8" sleeving on the power cables, really the only very little critique point i could find

I've actually started using the 1/8" more lately. I sleeved most of the cables before I got a roll of 1/8". Truth be told, I didn't even know it existed until a few weeks ago.The supplier I used to deal with never had any. My new supplier does and I'm digging the stuff big time.

is it just me or is something missing on the top window piece?

If you're referring to the fact that you can't see most of the cutout shape its because its been blown out by the lighting (sun).

Charles, out of interest, what sort of airflow is there in the top compartment to cool the motherboard sinks?

This is exactly what Ill be testing this week before they go into production. I'll do extensive tests to ensure there is adequate airflow before offering these for sale. The absolute LAST thing I want is to put a part on the market and have it fail or be deficient in any way.

Charles thank you so much!

Nils, that is awesome man thank you! It's an honor to be illustrated by you.

whoa whoa whoa what is all this shenanigans!

It's brotherly love, easy.

Besides, it's only gay if you make eye contact.

THAT is TOTALLY going in my sig, lol. That is quote of the month!

Thanks, Charles. You're the best!

Good, thats really reasuring to hear

We're on a roll today!

Charles: I'm also interested in the airflow testing, but there's one hitch; I haven't seen a single fan in the upper compartment during this whole build. The mid-plate is now sealed, so no air from the rads. The two 92mm fans are also gone with the new backplate. So where will the airflow come from?

Hey Charles, show them the pics of what you did with the fan in mine That is, if you're ready to reveal that.

[theToX]

i want an air cooled murderbox.

[hiiyah777]

i want an air cooled murderbox.

Stay tuned for my build then....

Okay Charles, I'll stop. I promise. I couldn't resist.

Ooh, ooh! Another murderBox/murderMod. I can't get enought of charles' work . I think i'll have to get one for myself

[64dragon]

amazing charles, love the orange sleeving and great pics

[emoners]

Charles, love the way those top grills show off the GPU block!

[masxerofkartis]

Very nice project, i have been watching for a lot of time.

So i give you

10 for powercoat-very neat

10 for watercooling mounts etc

10 for harddisk mounts

10 for sleeving the w/c tubes

5 for cable sleeving-i just think it'd be better ir ll cables were together in one sleeve is all

3 for cable mangement-You still have a lot of cables showed out which doesnt help airflow ad i think it'd look nicer with n cables out

[MomijiTMO]

All of the murdermod projects have individually sleeved 24 ATX power cables and since it's all under water airflow isn't as important. The various wires and cables are nicely ordered too which I find pretty neat.

[Friedchicken]

What appeals to me is the "organized chaos" that is part of the wire management. It's provides texture to the inside.

And as mentioned, air flow is not necessary with the water cooling.

To each his/her own. Everyone has different tastes.

[twwen2]

I agree. I quite like being able to see the sleeved cables. Normally you would try to hide the cables, cos they're unsightly. But these ones are just beautiful, and deserve to be shown off

this.

[Tile]

The sleeved cables really look the best in a modded PC and here is no exception. If you can't hide 'em, show 'em to great effect. Charles redefined the way PSU cables should be sleeved.

Thanks for the comments guys.


Fried Chicken, your order is ready for pickup.

I’ve been waiting a month to say that. Ok, I was a bit premature; I’ve still got to verify whether there’s adequate airflow in the upper chamber with the new grill. I’ll be testing for ambient temps under load and whatnot. I hope to have results later in the week. There’s no question that the top grill won’t be adequate for an air-cooled system – no way, no how.

twwen2 I’ll report back with a detailed analysis Mate.



Final finals w/ wallpaper sizes.

If anyone wants to see them with the correct color profiles they can turn on color management support in Firefox 3.
