It is hard to go unnoticed when you build a PC in one of In Win`s D-Frame 2.0 open frame cases. Malik Custom pulled off a clean and minimalistic look while he managed to exploit the stock gold paint job of the D-Frame, which is not an easy task. For this magnificent build, Malik Customs was inspired by motorization and industrial design, while the specific character of the In Win D-Frame 2.0 has just added a pinch of elegance to it.

Who said you have to use all the same color fittings in one build? Malik Customs beautifully balanced out the entire build by altering between Gold and Black EK-HDC fittings. As we mentioned earlier, it is not easy to work with golden colors. Too much of it will make the build look kitsch and your work will be labeled with poor taste because of excessive garishness. In the end, all we can do is applaud to another build that is magnificently carried out by its maker. Every bit of this high-performance PC is beautifully balanced into a serious minimalistic design.
