Further evidence could once be found at https://www.rspeaudio.com/Attack-Wall-Webboutique-a/276.htm. There, a picture of Deadmau5 with the AttackWall could be seen. Hovering over the picture brought up the following description:
Grammy nominated progressive-house music producer and performer Deadmau5's management group contacted us because he needed to work on his newest project from his home studio in the Hollywood Hills. They needed to make sure the album had a big sound, so we recommended the world-class acoustic environment of the ASC AttackWall. After months of working on the project, he moved his studio to a room at Capitol Records. He loved working in his red ASC AttackWall so much that he took it with him to continue production.

Deadmau5 talks about BOXX Workstations for a bit in this article: http://www.emusician.com/artists/0767/deadmau5/150322
What’s your current workstation?
I’ve been working with a company in Texas called BOXX Technologies that’s been specially tailoring PCs for me. They’ve built >some of the most reliable performance PCs I’ve seen. I used to build them myself, but I’ve been supplied with machines by >BOXX for the past six years now and they’re amazing. And it’s funny, because I went into Hans Zimmer’s studio the other day >and he’s got racks of PCs from the same company for his sample libraries. So I feel even more like I did the right thing.
