Such a nice job with this project! I was reading the plans for your February build and now I'm thinking "OMG SPEC ALPHA AND MAXIMUS VIII FORMULA RGB!"
Thank you! I am not a fan of the spec alpha so I am sorry to let you down.. I am using the 600C and ASUS Maximus VIII Extreme Assembly
Damn,that's nice,just wow... but 1 question how did you mount the rads?
Thanks cakez! They are screwed onto U-channel, which are screwed onto U-channel which is screwed into the chassis. My second last post shows kind of how I did it

An In Win S-Frame projectBy MetallicAcidProject made possible by following sponsors:ASUS || Nordic HardwareIntel || InetKingston || OcaholicIn Win || SilverStoneCarplus.se || DremelModding Stylz || GosumodzV1Tech || BitspowerFinal photo shoot - Project Origami is finished!!!Hello once more to my latest and last update to my beloved project Origami - my modding project featuring an In Win S-Frame with custom pearl white paint!This project has been a wild ride, and very enjoyable as well. It has been a challenge of both skill, and my patience and I believe that I have grown as a modder because of the experiences I have had while working on this project.With this update, I am proud to present the Origami - in all of it's completed glory.As a small teaser for you guys, I am already finished with another PC modding project using a Fractal Design Define S with a redefined internal layout and custom water cooling. A build log for this project will be created when it is finished after the end of January.I will also be starting a new project from February featuring some of the latest hardware from both Corsair and ASUS, so stay tuned for that announcement here on the forums.So thank you all once again for following my project. I really hope that you have enjoyed this journey as much as I have creating it. Please leave a comment with what you think of the project, and how I can improve my work for any future projectsWith best regards,Justin "MetallicAcid" Ohlsen

Isn't there a reset button? Or do you just never use it?
Well I have not needed one to date Dem chokes and capacitors on the house, thanks for the update though it was a long time coming because of all the updates I've seen on your Facebook page.
Have a good day
Thanks for following on FB. It is so much easier to post on FB as it is handy when I have just the mobile phone

Oh my god... It has been almost a century since I have updated this project thread. With our 4month old, buying a house, entering competitions and starting a modding community, I have not had much time infront of the PC to post anything for my beloved project Origami.
So without any further waiting, I would like to post a massive update for your reading pleasure!An In Win S-Frame projectBy MetallicAcidProject made possible by following sponsors:ASUS || Nordic HardwareIntel || InetKingston || OcaholicIn Win || SilverStoneCarplus.se || DremelModding Stylz || GosumodzV1Tech || Bitspower
Super massive F-Off update of epic proportions. WARNING: Prep some new underwear...Let me start off by thank you for your patience. Without you all following my work, inspiring me with your own projects and giving me suggestions on how I can improve, I would not enjoy create what I create! So thank you.With this update, I would like to show you all of the progress right up until just before I took the final photos for this project... Yes - it is finished and being used already, I just not have had the time to sit down like now and formulate this update for you. I will try to talk through the images so you know what I am doing and thinking, and it is not just a massive photo dump which will bog down your bandwidth..Painting the GPU brackets black - with PlastidipInstalling the backplates - Before any modifications to themBitspower parts delivery and sponsorship announcement! Such quality, much fittings wow!Installing the Bitspower blocksBackplate modification with custom cut and brushed aluminium panelsCustom radiator bracket which is to be mounted behind the motherboard trayCustom panel to hide unused front IO panel holesRemoved unwanted cables and sleeving the remainderInstalled pump mod kit and sleeved cables, then took a porn shot of the PC on my deskMeasuring and installing the reseroirRemoving the red anodizing and brushing the screwsFrom here after the photos are pretty sparse until I take the final photos.. This is because of a combination of things and time constraints which made me focus only on the modding and building of this project and not the photography with the DSLR. Most of those images ended up being taken on the phone "on the fly" and posted up on FB or Instagram.So thank you once again for joining me on this journey. The next time I post it will be with the final photos for this project. Please stay tuned as they will be shown within in the week!Kind regards,Justin "MetallicAcid" Ohlsen

Backplate installation, and GPU installed... Just waiting on water cooling (still...)Hello once again for reading my project log. This is a short and sweet update I installed the backplates onto the GTX980 Ti Strix GPUs, then went ahead and installed them into the S-Frame chassis.
I have plans to add some custom brushed aluminium panels into the sections of the backplates so that it matches perfectly with the project design. Please let me know what you think, but keep in mind that I will have acrylic water blocks installed with black cooland running through the system...Thank you for reading!Justin "MetallicAcid" Ohlsen

GPU backplates made by V1TechHello my friends once again!
Once upon a time I had an interesting discussion with Hassan Alaw, the founder of the modding company V1Tech. On this one beautiful morning he had sent me an email expressing his interest for becoming a sponsor for any of my upcoming projects. So I took the time to learn CoralDraw X7 so that I could whip up some designs, and in the end I decided to design some custom backplates for these fabulous ASUS GTX980 Ti Strix GPUs.
The thinking behind this design was something light, with angles, that would compliment the design features of the S-Frame, and the Origami folded paper design. I could not but help to have the ASUS and Strix logos to show that these beast GPUs are nothing but the best GTX980 TI on the market. Granted this is only my opinion, and not up for discrimination I went ahead and scanned the backplate of one Strix GPU, then imported the file into CoralDraw. I simply traced out the outer line, then made a design Child's play to be honest!
With this all designed up, I sent the file to Hassan, who then went ahead and laser cut my design. I can recommend his services at V1Tech not because he sponsored the cutting of these backplates. but rather his communication and speed of completing these is what I base my recommendation on.
I will get these installed onto the Strix GPUs in the next few days, so please hang tight and check out these bad boys!
So thank you once again for taking the time to take a look at my Origami project, and hope to hear back from you what you guys thinkJustin "MetallicAcid" Ohlsen

An In Win S-Frame projectBy MetallicAcidProject made possible by following sponsors:ASUSNordic HardwareIntelInetKingstonOcaholicIn WinSilverStoneCarplus.seDremelModding StylzGosumodzV1TechI am back from the dead!!!Hello again my friends!!It has been a while again since I last updated my beloved project Origami.Since the birth of our new son, life has taken first priority and the modding was put to the side for a while until things started to settle down. I now have had some time, and some sponsorships have been finalized and these items have come in to me.This update though is a soft start for me, applying some small but very defining details to the chassis itself. Yes, I am talking about the In Win logo sticker and In Win S-Frame chassis badge.Please keep in mind that I have already completed more of this project so far, but those updates will come soon as I have to upload the photos, apply watermark and then publish them I will get around to those updates when I have another window of opportunity Thank you for reading!Justin "MetallicAcid" Ohlsen

Well thank you once again. I seriously do not consider myself as good at modding as you guys consider me to be.
Welcome back onto the hype train... ALL ABOARD!!!
Awesome build! I'm really looking forward to seeing new updates. I'm also looking forward to finishing typing this comment with my new Pok3r. K bye lol
Cheers mate! Once I bring home the S-Frame chassis from my work I will get some shots of all of the hardware installed so you can see what they all look like aircooled
:) I personally cannot wait!/J

Hardware update, and various announcements.Well it has been a VERY long time since I was last able to update my wonderful Origami project! I hope that you guys have not lost interest as I have some hardware porn in the form of 2x GTX980 Ti Strix courtesy of ASUS ROG Nordic!The reason why I have been busy away from this project is because of two reasons. The 1st is because my wife and I welcomed out second child into out family - Xander William He is an eating and pooing machine, which leaves little to no time to even think about ones' own self. The 2nd is because I am a participant in the LDLC Modding Trophy 2015, which means that I am competing against some of the worlds leading PC builders and modders! To be a part of this competition is an honour, and to be regarded on the same level as these guys (some who are my modding idols!) makes me so happy! With this considered, I took some time to nail down a design for that modding project while I waited on hardware to be delivered for Origami.
Other small updates with this project - I am currently designing custom backplates for this project with Hassan Alaw from V1Tech/Harbinger - Still waiting on the delivery from Bitspower - Parvenu have expressed in fabricating the back panel for me which hides and protects the dual radiator set up behind the motherboard - Custom cables and vinyls are on their way to me from moddingstylez.de and custom aluminium cable combs from Goshumodz as well.With this said, I have the honour to show to you some really impressive GPUs - considered to be the best on the market in terms of design and performance! I would like to introduce to you the pair of GTX980 Ti Strix courtesy of ASUS ROG Nordic. Thank you for the support, and believing in my work!So thank you all once again for joining me for my latest update on project Origami. next update will be of when I install the panels and hardware into the chassis, and start on the cable management, all in preparation for the water cooling parts to come in. So please stick aroundKind regardsJustin "MetallicAcid" Ohlsen

Any updates incoming Justin?
Hey there! Sometime in the future (haha) there will be an update.. I am waiting on parts from ASUS and Bitspower to be able to continue with this project, and our new son will be born this week, so I will have my hands full with him and looking after the family
I am expecting the parts very soon, with an update on this project latest end of September. I hope you do not mind waiting...
Kind regards,
Justin

Origami
An In Win S-Frame projectBy MetallicAcidWith thanks to these following companies:ASUSIntelKingstonIn WinSilverStoneBitspowerModdingstylz.deCarplus.seDremelNordic HardwareInetOcaholicSponsorship updateHello once again, and thank you for coming back to read my latest update with my modding project Origami.During my short time on the PC case modding scene, I have had the good fortune to have spoken too and even met a few of you in person. I have been part of some competitions, and even won a few, which has caught the eye of some people who are hunting for modders to sponsor to promote their brand. I am very thankful that I have the support of the community and vendors so that I can continue to do what I love to do!With this update, I would like to introduce some now sponsors who have supported Origami with their products. With the help of Nordic Hardware and Intel, I have received a Core i7 4790k CPU. With the support of Nordic Hardware and ASUS, they have decided to support Origami with a pair of GTX980 Ti Strix 6GB GPUs. With the support of Kingston and Ocaholic, they have sent out a Kingston HyperX Predator PCIE SSD 240GB. Lastly with the help of Bitspower, A fully custom water cooling loop will be installed. Moddingstylz in Germany will support with a full set of custom PSU cables and aluminium cable combs for the SilverStone ST1200-G Evolution PSUNot all of the products have landed yet, but those that have arrived will be shown here. If you have any questions regarding any of the featured PC parts then please do not hesitate to ask meIntel Core i7 4790kKingston HyperX Predator PCIE SSD 240GBJustin "MetallicAcid" Ohlsen -

Origami
An In Win S-Frame projectBy MetallicAcidWith thanks to these following companies:ASUSIntelKingstonIn WinSilverStoneBitspowerModdingstylz.deCarplus.seDremelNordic HardwareInetOcaholicFinished painted chassis and motherboardGday, 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.seI 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!Justin "MetallicAcid" Ohlsen -
This is me when I saw your motherboard choice.
Hahaha. Love the link animation gif
this was my reaction when I heard ASUS wanted to ship me this motherboard for the project cannot wait to get some flat white plastidip on the armour though to see if it will match better with the newly painted chassis./J

Thank you mate! This will be the 3rd white themed project I would have created@MetallicAcid. This is turning out to be one awesome build! I really Like the white, it kinda reminds me of @Snef's projects.
But @Snef is the master of clean and white /J

Origami
An In Win S-Frame projectBy MetallicAcidWith thanks to these following companies:ASUSIntelKingstonIn WinSilverStoneBitspowerModdingstylz.deCarplus.seDremelNordic HardwareInetOcaholicHardware update, and some professional paintingHello once again to my S-Frame project! I am happy to announce some new sponsorship from SilverStone and Kingston, who have supplied my project with a super nice PSU, and solid RAM! Thank you to these sponsors for believing in my work, and who provide their products so that I can continue doing what I love to do the most.First up, I would like to show you the RAM raw, and how it looks when installed on the ASUS Sabertooth Z97 Mark S motherboard. This is a combination which is hard to beat! This is 16GB of 1866mhz RAM which is perfect for gaming and light/medium workloads.Secondly I would like to present the power packet to this project, the Silverstone ST1200-G Evolution. This PSU is able to provide up to 1300w peak of power to all of my components. The texture on this PSU is extremely nice, and resilient to scratches. This will get a lick of white paint as well soon!Last but not least, bilplus.se in Bromma has become a sponsor to this project by professionally painting the S-Frame in a special Audi Pearl White with a polished finish. I have seen the chassis in person mid polish and it looked SERIOUSLY AMAZING!! I will be picking this bad boy up tomorrow, and get some photos of it before the weekend. Until I can post an update with the photos, please check out these MMS photo updates that I have received this last week from the painter at bilplusThank you for reading!Justin "MetallicAcid" Ohlsen

Thank you for the awesome comment!!
:D
I have to say, even though I don't play MMO, this mouse is great for productivity in Solidworks/Sketchup/keyshot/lightroom
You should give it a go. Although routing cables is a PITA with this chassis.... A real challenge
Cheers man! If you want some advice just drop me a line
Thank you Ricers! The desk look and colours where specifically chosen to suit this project
