Thats a unique and strange case you have there! Props for being different!!

Hehe thanks, still alot of work to do thou, as i'm not even finished.
It's a HTPC-chassis really and it's the smallest case(17.9"x5.5"x14.5") that I could get my hands on that fits the standard ATX-boards.

I wonder how it will look like when i get my schyte infinity as it is 6.3" high and the case is only 5.5" As you can see the gpu-cooling is sticking out and so will the CPU-cooler do too i got 4x120mm and 2x80mm fans fitted in that little thing.

Oh well, with time it'll look even more different and sticking out among all other mods!

A guy in my Battlefield clan builds these. His aim is an elegant PC with watercooling and great performance. It isn't about the highest performance you can squeeze out of a machine or about the best cooling you can get, more of trying to strike a balance with the emphasis on aesthetics and an elegant simplicity. Here is the Murderbox

 

[Neuromancer]

Wow thats pretty slick

 

[jjdog711]

That Murderbox is absolutely beautiful, very clean with the wires and the WC loop. Also is that lcd modded to show temps or did your friend buy that?

I am not sure on that. You could probably contact him through his site though. It is on all of the pics heh.

 

[SCAVENGER1]

yeah that is very nice rig he makes. i was going to paint mine black, the interior that is. but it was to cold and the snow coming down then would have made it bad for doing it inside the house. but very nice and clean WTG

 

[samuknow]

That is one sexy rig....

Super attention to detail....

 

[DennyDude]

thats the sickest machine but do many people buy them?

They are expensive. He is basically doing sort of a "boutique" computer experience with his goal being to sell one of them every week. You could buy an Alienware for cheaper than these to give you an idea, but as stated, he isn't really running it like a business to maximize profits and move lots of products. Just selling a beautiful PC with great (not ultimate) performance to those that might be interested. I guess it makes some sense though...while you could get an alienware for cheaper or an alienware that performs better, all alienware boxes are ugly, gaudy things with strange plastic fins and such. So if you are someone that doesn't build your own boxes, you would need to decide if aesthetics were more important to you or not.

I don't think that 52 of these a year is out of the question though, even at the high price. We live in a world where people will pay money for tumbleweeds on the internet, so this is not a crazy venture on his part

 

[SCAVENGER1]

for the price of this. it is the attention to detail that put this out past the rest. i mean dam that is some rig. wish i could do 1/2 of what he has done to it. that would be call a Master Piece of a Computer hands down.

 

[Elluzion]

that murder box is nice. imo the window is too small..

 

[Godfather1138]

Just finished building this with my Ex... actually, she built it I supervised. Only real mod is the custom side window with etching to match the case design. Window edge is counter sunk to allow the window to sit flush when mounted from behind. The etching is also on the inside so you can't see it at all when the case light is off. We need to add more light at the top of the case for this to really pop, but here it is.

 

[MasterTelia]

did you paint those flowers on there??

im going to do some painting on a case, and its going to very precise, so care to tell me how you did that??

 

[Godfather1138]

The flowers on the case were applied at the factory, but the ones on the plexi were laser etched. Shoot me a PM and let me know what you are wanting to do in paint. I may have some good tips for you from my automotive painting days.

 

[Enablingwolf]

My wife has that same InWin (Allure) case. Minus the window.

 

[fusionmkx]

My humble rig =) MK2008

I recently setup a simple w/c setup in Feb. Nothing as nice as the rigs in this thread, o/ced my E6550 @ 3.6Ghz, TT cpu wb, DD Maze4 wb for my 8800GT.

Checker Plate Aluminum

One I'm making from scratch, measures 26 1/2" high x 11 3/8" wide x 25 1/4" deep, (H)673.1 mm x (W)288.925mm x (D)641.35mm:

Any suggestions for shapes I could cut out of the checkerplate to place on the side window to dress it up a bit?

 

[Godfather1138]

That is looking great man. I have been wanting to build a case out of tread-plate for a while now. Glad to see someone take the project on.

 

[Just Learnin']

Thanks for the kudos, it is my first and probably last shot at something like this. Very time consuming with the tools I have. Lots of filing and sanding to smooth the edges on the cuts as the checker plate is 5/16" thick, it is tough to cut as well. The thinner checkerplate for the drive cages was not as bad but all those slots were a real pain.
