Noice- little late but subbed

Better late than never! Thank you for subbing!

 

Awesome build with great photos too!

Definitely subbed!

Thank you for subbing as well :) And cheers for the compliment! I always try new techniques when taking photos, and it is really fun!

 

The white looks so much better than the black/gold! <3 ~Followed!

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

An In Win S-Frame project

 

By MetallicAcid

 

 

 

 

 

Project made possible by following sponsors:

ASUS

Nordic Hardware

Intel

Inet

Kingston

Ocaholic

In Win

SilverStone

Carplus.se

Dremel


 

 

 

 

 

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 around ;)

 

Kind regards

Ok thanks, also congratulations ahead of time for you son Justin

Though I'm not a parent, I've got 3 other siblings one of which is 19 months so I have some

Idea of much of a handful that kids are

I hope to see the update soon Justin and may I ask what you are going to name him?

So sorry for the late reply mate!! It has been so hectic, and I guess I missed when you had replied!

We named him Xander :) He is healthy, eats and shits alot (just like his father ;) ) and is a handful already for us haha!

 

I hope you enjoy the update man :)

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!

I 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 ;)

GPU backplates made by V1Tech

 

 

 

Hello 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 :D 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!

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... ;)
