Origami - An S-Frame project by MetallicAcid

Origami
An In Win S-Frame project

By MetallicAcid

Hello everybody, and welcome to yet another of my modded projects! I would like to introduce you to my project named "Origami" which features the exclusive In Win S-Frame chassis.

The name Origami is inspired by the way this single 2m long, 4mm thick aluminium plate has been folded 15 times to give this unique chassis it's form. There is no floor or roof, and tempered glass panels which really set this chassis aside from most all other PC enclosures on the market today. I felt that I would take on the challenge of modding this chassis to enhance its design in typical MetallicAcid style, complete with brushed aluminium panels, and a full custom water cooled loop with hardline tubing.

Definition of "Origami" according to Dictionary.com:
[awr-i-gah-mee]
noun, plural origamis for 2.
The traditional Japanese art or technique of folding paper into a variety of
decorative or representational forms, as of animals or flowers.

Hardware:
CPU - Intel Core i7 4790k
GPU - 2x ASUS GTX980 Ti Strix 6GB
Chassis - In Win S-Frame
Motherboard - ASUS Sabertooth Z97 Mark S
PSU - SilverStone ST1200-G Evolution
RAM - Kingston HyperX Fury White 1866mhz 16GB (4x4GB)
SSD - Kingston Predator PCIE SSD 240GB

This project has been made possible by the following companies who have provided their products and services. Thank you for believing in my work, and allowing me to continue doing that which I genuinely love to do!

Finished painted chassis and motherboard

Gday, and welcome again to my project log Origami!

Todays update is none other than the reveal of the beautiful pearl white paint job on the S-Frame chassis, and the new paint job to remove the camouflage from the Sabertooth Mark S motherboard.

There are a couple of small "niggles" with the professional paint job that I can't help but notice. The first being that they had painted the chassis upside down, so when the paint had dried and was then was flipped to the correct orientation, there was some bumps etc. from where the chassis was sitting on the painting fence. The guys did a great job with sanding down the edge, masking and repainting to fix the problem though. All in all it was luxurious to be able to have my S-Frame painted in such a nice white, and the pearl white really stands out in the open daylight.

The motherboard camo didn't fit with my theme, so I ended up giving it a lick of Multona #6000 white, and making the silver details black. I am considering painting the silver screws a black, and painting the fine details black with a paint brush to make this motherboard thermal armour truly one of a kind.

So first I would like to present the refreshed thermal armour:

And for the finisher, the pearl white In Win S-Frame, with paint work sponsored by carplus.se

I really hope that you have enjoyed my work so far! I am having such a great time working on this project, and I have another small update coming your way hopefully before or on the weekend. Please leave a message and let me know if you have any opinions or questions!

Thank you for reading!
