Daniel's murderbox - with a sLight twist

[charles_h]

Very nice project indeed.
Send it to Cebit

Cheers Vullf!

I think Daniel has had to wait long enough - the next stop will be his house.

Hey Charles look at this website you should like it

Very nice David, cheers.

I just read the entire thread, and I'm basically speechless. Charles your modding skills are second to none, that is absolutely perfect work.

Thank you CryptiK!

I still have a lot to learn; fortunately there are so many talented folks in this community to gain inspiration from.

wow Charles, thanks a lot for that.. priceless inspiration indeed!


its always amazing to watch your work... my only problem is that every time I see a new set of photos I get an urge to clean my apartment..

can't wait to find out what's this slight twist..

Thank you hoax; I really appreciate your words of support.

For all waiting for new eye-candy: In the process of updating all MDPCs, I came to the original murderbox of 2007. If you want to see a little bit of history and get some wallpapers: click me softly

golly how time flies!

Thank you Nils - your friendship has brought out the best in me... what more could a person ask.




Project Update: There’s still a bit of tweaking to do but we thought rather than make you guys wait another week, or three, we’d at least finally reveal the “slight twist” in Daniel’s build.

It’s actually a slight twist on internal lighting.

Personally, I was never a big fan of CCFLs or strips of LEDs; there had to be a more elegant lighting solution that blended with the evolving direction of style and aesthetics. It struck me one day; one of the most flattering and dramatic light sources is the photo studio softbox – why not install a softbox within the computer. The TJ07 was the perfect case to test this concept on by designing and installing a softbox right on the midplate. The objective was to create a diffused, evenly lit panel that radiated light and could be drilled through for LC hoses – all while providing just the right amount of illumination to the contents of the upper section... without being overwhelming.

After extensive design and prototyping, we feel we’ve nailed it. Although the light panel looks very simple, there’s actually much more to it than meets the eye. There’s a special material within the outer box that provides the diffusion. Essentially, the outer surface is for looks; oh and to keep the highly toxic "light emitting" chemicals contained safely within which is why nobody should ever attempt to take one apart! Doing so may result in impotence or in some cases, an erection lasting longer than 4 hours.

While this is still a prototype, we’re pleased to say that we’ll be offering these yet to be named err… murderlightboxes at our shop. We don’t have final pricing yet but should do within the next few weeks. Obviously these models are designed for TJ07s but if there’s interest, we’ll also offer them for other cases in the future. More details and completed build shots to follow.

I will say that the luminous effect on internals surpasses our expectations – especially things like hoses that pass through it and CPU blocks and motherboard bits and ram and sleeved cables and, well, everything lit by it looks pretty sweet!

Without further gum flapping, we present the first glimpse at Daniel’s sLight twist...





















It'll look better with all the innards installed and internal case parts powder coated black, but at least the wait is over!


Thanks for looking in.
