Final 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 projects
With best regards,
Justin "MetallicAcid" Ohlsen

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!

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 Plastidip
Installing the backplates - Before any modifications to them
Bitspower parts delivery and sponsorship announcement! Such quality, much fittings wow!
Installing the Bitspower blocks
Backplate modification with custom cut and brushed aluminium panels
Custom radiator bracket which is to be mounted behind the motherboard tray
Custom panel to hide unused front IO panel holes
Removed unwanted cables and sleeving the remainder
Installed pump mod kit and sleeved cables, then took a porn shot of the PC on my desk
Measuring and installing the reseroir
Removing the red anodizing and brushing the screws
From 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!

Also congratulations and all the best for Xander! I hope you'll have some good nights sleep!
These cards are beasts. In our 980 Ti reviews, the STRIX has been the only card running past 1500MHz in games.
Thank you Rewarder!! Sorry for the late reply, life is always there to remind me that I do not have time for modding haha
I am very happy to have sponsored the Strix VGA. In my opinion (and most test scores) it seems like the best GPU on the market.

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
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 think

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 
Thank you for reading!
