When people think of PC cases you often get an image of a plain beige (or more often black) box with little or no style, the opposite may also hit you, a box with an over abundance of blue and red lit fans windows and more glowing tubes than a weekend rave. Is there a middle ground? Well we have talked about SilverStone and their commitment to class and style but Charles Harwood and Nils Papke have taken that one step further. Charles is the creator and artist behind the murderbox.
If you have not heard of or seen this work of art yet you really should. Quite simply it is one of the most elegant creations in computing I have seen. Frank Lloyd Wright would be proud of the way Charles has combined form and function in a stylish (almost minimalist) creation that is the murderbox. It is a system that could be a center piece in almost any room. You can give your eyes a treat here.
Now with the success of the original murderbox (and really how could it not be a success) Charles and Nils have expanded to provide the basic parts used to create the murderbox. These building blocks can be found at their new venture, murderMod.com. Here you can find the base components to build your own murderbox. As of today you can grab the fully modded TJ07 case, just about all of the internal components to mod your own TJ07. But the murderbox Duo are not leaving out the rest of the case world and are working on developing universal parts and pieces for use in other case mods. Also in the works are sleeving kits, cable management kits and mounting kits.murderMod is setup to provide these parts to both Europe and the Americas (North and South America)
If you are like me, and many others, that want a system that not only works but has a sense of style then you certainly need to drop by murderbox and murderMod to take a look. I am sure you will find something to stare at longingly before you purchase. In the coming months as murderMod grows I am sure Charles and Nils will find a way to bring style and class back into the increasingly gaudy world of the PC case outside the SliverStone arena they currently work in.
