My "murder" project.

Niceee case you got there, good jobe mate
one question:
what cable sata is this, the model, i don't know. I liked the material of it, is very cool!!
thanks, congrats more one time

[charles_h]

Ture, that's part of it. But an even greater reason is that the central inlet is positioned in the center of the block (duh!), which is right over the core under the IHS. By using the normal inlet the water is directed straight at the core, giving the best heat absorbtion. I don't know how much of a temp difference we're talking, i'm not sure it has been tested, but i know the theory is right.

I'd be curious to know the difference too. It's my understanding (and I hope to be corrected if I'm wrong) that whether the coolant is directed "straight at the core" as you say, or from the side - essentially it's archiving the same net result. I don't think of it like water coming out of a hose but more like an enclosed, pressurized fluid system - despite the fact that it's a very low pressure loop, I believe it still follows the same principle.

Thank you.

The SATA cable is covered in nylon sleeving. Techflex Flexo PET to be exact.

Wow nice!
I am thinking to revest my cables (cooler, SATA) with nylon too.
it's easy to do?

Good stuff Bro, looking forward to your work log.

I don't know what to say about airbrushing since I don't do it. I'm a huge fan of powder coating as you can imagine. If you paint the plastic parts 1st you can then take them to a powder coater for reference and they can most likely match them pretty closely.

I allready ordered some spray paint, together with a special outlet for easier handling - my first paint (matte black) went out real good just with spray paint, so I bet this thing is going to be even better (I'm a 110%-perfection-guy, you know), but yeah, I will keep you updated once I got all the parts here!!

:-D

Thanks 64dragon for your answer, and thanks Charles for answering every question here

[GrossmeisterB]

I better post something now, so that thread won't "disappear" on the 2nd page... :d

I hope that I'll receive my 2nd 240mm-radiator today, together with all the spray paint stuff as well!! I allready took all of the hardware out, and I will unmount my watercooling stuff this weekend and then start building and post a worklog here... :-)

I seem to have lost my jaw after the pure AWESOME of this thread upper-cutted me...

when I was rebuilding my fragbox2, i had my system running on my desk for 2 weeks and I had the inlet/outlet reversed on the fuzion (with a quad nozzle), there's no noticeable performance hit at all(maybe 1-2c but thats may as well be the room temp changed). I think u've done a fantastic job there and u dont need to worry about the performance

I'm really anxious to see your creation, I have a feeling it's going to be something very special.

Thanks inonefly, that's good to know Mate. I make no bones that I place aesthetics at the top of my priority list. That being said, I certainly never want to do so at the expense of performance. While I really enjoy reading about the efforts of those that squeeze every last drop of efficiency or maximization out of a system, it's just not my thing. I fancy myself more the artistic type than the Engineer I guess. I know there are some out there that are both, but we know how rare a breed they are. While I'm an unashamed perfectionist with visual details, I still have a ways to go in other areas.

Thanks again for the input and comments inonefly.

Your work really redefines the concept of a custom built PC. I really like the attention to details that is put in every murderbox. I absolutely hate those so called "custom built PCs" that have all that arty farty look to them - flames, all sorts of colors and sometimes horrid build quality. A custom built high end PC should have a monochrome lighting, uncompromising wiremanagement and superior build quality The murderbox fulfills those reqyirements wuth ease.
My suggestion for future builds is to use for the waterloop hoses Pi-Thon clamps. They would really emphasize the uncompromising beauty of a murderbox.

[just a noob]

is there any chance you would sell just the case? its so beautiful
p.s. your site is so clean, and easy to navigate

[jimmyxxx]

Charles, any progress :P ?

What are those Pi-Thon clamps?? I never heard of them?!?! Got a picture or what?

[GrossmeisterB]

I will do my best!!
I just hope that my parts will arrive soon, still waiting for my 2nd radiator and the paint stuff!! But yesterday my "Plexiglas" arrived!!

[Tile]

Here is a Pi-Thon hose lock. The design is very simple and uses 3 parts: the 2 locking pieces with fine threads and a collar that does the tightening.

Wow, those are really looking nice, but how do they mount on a "normal" watercooler?? I e.g. have my tubes just pushed over the connector - that's it!! So how to mount these??

[Tile]

A casemodding classic, the Orac3 has some of them mounted on the waterloop hoses. You can find more details here

Thank you Tile, your generous words mean a lot to me.

I'll definitely be getting some Pi-Thom clamps, they're very clean and beautifully designed. It's funny that you linked to Orac3; that was the creation that 1st inspired me.

Thank you Sir!

We will be offering the case mod very soon.

Charles, any progress :P ?

I'm assuming you're referring to murderMod since FC's murderbox is done.

Not to bore you with details, the delay in launching murderMod is due to having to find a new shop to fabricate the aluminum parts. We recently took delivery of an order of faceplates from our previous supplier and they simply didn't measure up. This is why I call them our previous supplier. I'm pleased to say we've found a new fabricator that gets the concept of fit and finish perfection and production is underway. We're a few weeks away from launch.

Some of the pieces require intricate water jet cutting which not many shops can properly do. Oh, they pretty much all say they can but frequently the results fall short; and we won't offer anything that falls short.

I will do my best!!

Yay, that thing looks a bit, how to say, "exaggerated"... :d
But those clamps are really nice, but maybe they're a bit too large?? so they would attract too much attention?

That night I had a whole lot of new ideas!! I can't wait th start my build, I will have to write down all the ideas I had, so I won't forget them!! :d

You sure have peaked my interest.

I just hope I won't disappoint you... :-)

Well, i´m looking forward to the murdermod store
A paradise for modder.

the only prob i see with that would be international shipping

[dingdong555]

I guess it isn't a problem if you want the best!

[just a noob]

good to know you'll be selling them, i thought about doing it myself, but i cant get access to a water jet, closest thing is a cnc machine a realitive owns
