    speaking about the sli bridge,
    would be cool to see a mini murder mod touch on the bridge
    like a think piece of alu with 3 stripes of "murder"

    I heard that some were searched in the b00t3y to check for explosives. So you were lucky

    Hey Daniel!

    By now you're on your way back home I imagine... I'm really looking forward to seeing some pics of your trip!

    That's a great idea! Bit late for Daniel's build but perhaps something for the future... cheers!

    Guys, I'm working on the wallpapers. Do they need frames and such? What size should they be? I'm so bad at this stuff... If anyone wants to take the pics and make a nice presentation with the logo and blood drips that would be awesome! Please PM me if you're interested; cheers!

    Cheers Laine!


    Thanks to those who offered to create the Wallpapers! The Master graphics and concept Renderd00d Metric has now got the images and is working his magic. I'm looking forward to seeing what he comes up with.


    I waved off the shipping and logistics company I was going to go with because I stated getting a bad vibe from them and ultimately lost confidence. Through the experience of having things made, I think I'm getting better at detecting bull$hit and things were starting to smell with those guys. The company I'm now dealing with make their business handling the logistics and transport of works of art and rare antiques - bottom line, irreplaceable stuffs. I'm really not counting on insurance... I'm looking for short of "acts of God" guarantees. After CD's horrific shipping experience with Milspec (which gave me nightmares), I'm attempting to do my best to ensure there are no weak links in this process.

    The plan is to have the machine sent out to Daniel this week. I will of course document the documentables.

    Good move switching companies. If they ruin this thing, I will fly over to their central office and massacre them. [Said in a Tom Cruise, Tropic Thunder style.]

    Thank you Mike!

    It's been an absolute pleasure - I'm really glad to hear you've enjoyed it.



    Project Update: Whelp, the machine is now out of my hands… bit of a bitter sweet moment really.

    The crate is on its way to the Vancouver Airport as we speak and will be flying out, direct to Frankfurt Saturday. From there, it will clear customs through the broker and be delivered to Daniel on Tuesday. That’s the plan anyway.

    I’ve done everything in my power to assure that the machine arrives intact and ready to run. I’ve even gone to the lengths of soliciting the help of special celebrity… more on that later. I will showcase the crate process and forgo the packing of the machine within its case - I will let Daniel explain that from his end. I will say that it will likely take him a few hours to get all the material out… sorry Daniel… better to be safe than sorry my friend!

    Ohtay, here we go… with the phenomenal help from Scott at Denbigh Design, I’m sitting here as confident as a person can be under the circumstances. I may get even some sleep this weekend. Scott answered all fifty thousand of my questions and is without question an absolute PRO – thank you Scott!


    Daniel, meet your new murderCrate ~













    The soft foam will slide out for easy removal of the inner box.






    The murderCrate has handles built in but is intended to be moved by forklift/palate cart. The thing weighs a ton. The handles are really on there for convenience in shifting the crate into position.



    Oh, who’s this now… Zen Frog - is that you? Where do you think you’re going?






    Yes, of course… you must go to ensure safe transport of Daniel’s machine. Sit tight now, we will make a spot for you later.






    “King of the World…” Oh boy, I’ve freakin’ lost it.




    Let’s get back to business…






    Here, Scott and Luke do final preparations on the inner box.



    Next, it’s time to load the box into the crate.














    Perfect fit!



    “What’s that” say’s Luke; "a space for what?"

    “A Zen Frog” I says... “he’s gotta go to make sure the machine arrives safely”.

    “Uhh… ok…” say’s Luke as he slowly backs away...










    “Make sure you cut it deep enough… we don’t want his face chaffing on the lid”






    That’s the stuff!





    “Take good care if it Zen Frog!” Ok, that was too much.



    Now it’s time to seal ‘er up!












    …and some sanding of the corners to reduce drag…







    Presto! Uno murderCrate!








    This is cool - it’s a shock sensor. Don’t know what we do if it’s triggered really but I like the idea. Perhaps someone should make one that in the event someone drops the crate and sets it off, a stink cloud is released and gasses the dood what dropped the thing. I know… dumb.









    Next stop, Frankfurt Germany! The labels are just for double checking... this stuff is all done with barcodes and scanners now.


    Almost there Daniel!

    wow... great care of the product there Charles!
    btw, what's the freight for something like that?
    is it by air or ocean?

    Cheers Ian.

    Since this is a business, I'm going to have to keep the numbers between my customer and I Mate - hope you understand.

    Niiiiice! It's finally coming!

    Well, my two little helpers can't wait to meet the lucky Zen Frog:



    But wait! What are they doing there?!



    Looks like they're unpacking something!



    Oh yeah, they're getting a little training unpacking the display until its daddy arrives!

    Don't worry Charles, my two little helpers with glowing yellow eyes will take good care of Zen 'The Lucky' Frog, until he'll be on his way back to his master, of course .

    I laughed to tears when I saw them carving a little spot for him .

    Holy cow, the zen frog had me laughing quite loud. "No.... he's not going to stick that in the box is he? Oh yes he is."

    The two lego guys were just as good.

    interesting packaging for an awesome product Charles.
    one more red vertical line would've made the crate really a murderbox box
