Posted January 8, 2016 For those of you who don't know I am a huge In Win fan, I love the design and quality hence why for my main setup i have a In Win S frame absolutely decked out in a ROG theme. I have some spare parts and thought wouldn't it be cool if there was a Mini ITX S Frame and that's my inspiration for this build stemming from the love of the case! After a lot of calculations I worked out my percentage size reduction from the main case being 35%. I wanted to get it slightly smaller but I was limited vertically because of the GPU. The next step was to make my stencil, this part was relatively simple all I had to do was print off the Flat S Frame at the reduced scale. After a few attempts I got the measurements spot on with my scale. I then put all the pieces onto cardboard and after a bit of taping and cutting my stencil was made! I decided to use perspex for this build and proceeded to trace using my stencil and then cut using a jigsaw. Next step will be to tidy up the jigsaw work and check all measurements and angles and then the hardest part being the bending!

Posted January 10, 2016 Author Today I spent 2 hours on bending of the perspex sheet! It was exhausting but well worth it. I have taken a time lapse of the whole hand bending process which ill have up on YouTube in the next few days. Next Ill be tidying up the last few edges and angles To see my other builds and videos check out www.ozmodz.com and dont forget to come check out my Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/Oz-Modz-784354365026358/ Until next time Happy Modding!

Posted January 11, 2016 Author I really wanted to show the processes I went through with the bending, I'm not using any fancy tools other then a heat gun and clamps and the trusty 2 x 4! Next ill be painting the whole case Satin Black and also making the radiator tray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 12, 2016 Looks really cool, this is a neat project. Also good job on the bending, I know how hard that can be. Frank(enstein): 760T Necro's core P5 build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 14, 2016 Author Yesterday I made the radiator mount out of perspex with a aluminium backing for support. I also started the vinyl work. Over the next few days ill be finishing the IO and making a mounting bracket for the PSU as well as the pump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 15, 2016 Wow that's awesome dude! How thick is the perspex? I wouldn't have thought it would be all that strong but it looks incredible.

Posted January 15, 2016 Much curvier than the actual case. If you were to do the folding again would you do it any differently? | ABSTRACT760BUILDLOG | RUMIKARIMU'SPORTFOLIO | G290XBUILDLOG || ____ | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 15, 2016 Author Much curvier than the actual case. If you were to do the folding again would you do it any differently? Yeah the GPU mount which has the In Win logo is rounder then I wanted it to be but due to the fact that i had to reduce the size meant that the corners couldn't be square as it still had to come out as far as the GPU which inst scaled done etc. If i were to fold again I would get an extra hand to help along with an extra heat gun. If you watch the time lapse you will see that i had to do 2 bends simultaneously. In saying that for a solo effort within my scale constrictions and only using basic tools i'm happy with how it has turned out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 15, 2016 Author Wow that's awesome dude! How thick is the perspex? I wouldn't have thought it would be all that strong but it looks incredible. The perspex is 3mm it is actually a lot sturdier then it looks my initial plan was going to contain support brackets along the back to limit movement and flexing but i haven't had to.

Posted January 17, 2016 Author No fucking way, realistically would I be able to make something like this @OzModz Its really hard to say, i have made some psu covers before with perspex but this is my first bit of complex bending, if i were to try it again i dont know if it'd come out as well. So to give you a direct yes or no its very hard. I think if you had someone helping then yeah its achieveable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
