Wow, thanks for the comments guys.

I'm really excited about pure|murderbox. In a nutshell, we'll start with a TJ07 and then add a 1/8" aluminum insert down the center that will finish flush with the sides of the case. The insert's grill will be cut on water jet and then bent to match the curves on the top and bottom of the case. The insert will be finished to match the TJ07 outer case. Behind the grill will be a sheet of copper that will be polished and clear coated. The concept is for simple, clean lines with emphasis on fit and finish. The copper should provide the contrast and give the case it's character. The whole process - warts and all, will be documented in the worklog.

The inside concept will be revealed in the worklog.

I use 1/2" heat shrink @ 3:1 and with the glue inside. You may have to trim off the outer edges of the plugs with a blade in order to get the sleeving over.

We'll see but I suspect it'll be a tad on the pricey side.

The concept was intended as a "one-off" but maybe it'll be easier that we think - although I highly doubt it. I imagine it'll take a few attempts to get the bends right - and the grill cutouts will have to be cut before bending. Perhaps after the 1st one is done it'll get easier.

Are the hardware options on your website the only ones available or if someone commissions a build and ships you specific pieces is that kosher with you?
Feel free to email me and we can discuss this further.

thanks for your help!!
The Fanta murderbox uses Feser One Orange UV coolant. The hose is Tygon 1/2" ID - 3/4" OD and the ATX, 6/8-pin power and SATA cables all have 1/4" Techflex sleeving.




Guys, I'm really moved by your comments. I made wallpapers of the two renders for anyone who wants them as a token of thanks.
