AirFrame Chassis

We're sorry to inform you that the first manufacturing run of the Airframe Chassis resulted in a defective result. We are redesigning this component to resolve the issues and add additional functionality. It will be some time before the new ones are complete (potentially August 2025), but once they are done we will offer (via email) one to everyone who received the defective version. 

The current version can be made to work. First, it's helpful to understand the problems with this version:

1. The standoffs provided are not the correct height. 
2. The three standoffs screw points that are closest to the edge (left edge in the pictures below) do not line up with the motherboard holes. 
3. When mounted in the Sente, the cable organizer blocks the lower USB (and other) ports on the motherboard.
4. When mounted in the Sente, if you are using a modern GPU, it's likely the drawer will bump against the top of the GPU, preventing the drawer from closing all the way and also preventing the front door from closing.

In order to make the chassis work for the time being, here are our suggestions:
1. Get M3x15mm tall standoffs. This will resolve the issue described in #3 above. You'll most likely need 6 to 9 of them. Here's an example: [click here]
2. Use 2x of the included standoffs to attach your GPU. The first will be used to offset the higher positioning resulting from the 15mm standoffs, and the second will be used to sandwich the GPU bracket. See pictures below.
3. Remove the drawer from your Sente. This pains us, but it's the only way outside of cutting a space in your drawer (which some users have done). 

Also, you'll need a power button and cable to connect to your PC "front panel" pins. Get a 16mm one like this.
