Scratch Build – In Progress *** PHINIX NANO TOWER *** --- MOTY 2011 nomination !!!

Cheers Nutman Yeah, I already got one, black version

Sorry for the photos delay, I had to do few things apart of the build last night so didn't make any photos. I'll try to make one nice photo of the side panel on tonight. I left second, graphic card side panel unfinished cause I will do it at the end of the whole project - cannot fit it in now where gpu has its original cooler sticking out of the Tower. With water block it will be fine, but not just now.

 

Just do it

 

Hahaha
I love this photo
In this case I'll stand corrected - I WILL make a nice photo and add it tonight

 

OK, its pretty late now.. You can see now how hard is sometimes find a minute to do sth so simple like take a photo

OK, just one as I said, for now
A "quicky" one with side panel on, little teaser



I'm not happy with this photo, but its very dark here now and its time to go to bed

 

Niiiice

 

Fap fap fap!!!!

 

Ooooooh, very nice.
However, ever thought about masking the colour of those RAM LEDs with some yellow film?

 

Woot, looks verry neat !

 

That looks sweet , wonder if you can get a clear diffusion sheet which would make all the lights out of focus when looking through the clear side panel, like in the picture, would look cool

 

More teasing? This is, like the slowest re-assembly ever.

 

Looks awesome mate, big fan of the lighting you've done in it.

 

Eww. It looks like a rainbow threw up random colors! Coordinate those colors, my man!

I want some yellow LED goodness to match the acrylic panels.


P.S. You do realize that you have now single-handedly brought about the hex-revolution?

 

Don't worry my friend, those colors won't be so much seen when all the yellow stuff kick in

Yes, I do realize - this is.. HEX-REVOLUTION!

 

UPDATE TIME !!!

OK! So, after all those whining about, I had to re-assemble the Tower to fix a bit those wires




I have cut and painted those two small bits to hold a PCI-E cables cover.




..and this is how it is going to be mounted, using velcro pads (it has to be removable).




I have also attached watercooling to CPU...




For some reason this back-plate is always on its side...heh...




There! Better?




I like how those hoses are so soft and easy to move around...

Watercooling mounted... CHECK!




DVD mounted...CHECK!




Top fan mounting.. CHECK!




You can see here how little space is left for graphic card... 3.5cm




Nano Tower resting... chilling...




I still need to do some drilling in the bottom acrylic panel, measured it all up and ready to drill...




I fit in right side panel, it was pretty dark inside, so had to use lamp for this one.




Right side panel fits in... CHECK!






Now.. today I won't be working a lot on Tower... it is time to have some cake

So, enjoy these photos and see you soon!

 

Sensational, can't wait for more, your getting close to the end now.

 

Agreed, a very impressive piece of work. And hopefully a very impressive piece of cake!

 

Looking great Phinix , its amazing how compact this case is.

 

We have up and down 90 degree connectors for SATA. Now we need right and left to tuck in the yellow SATA cables tighter. Just a thought.
My $0.02 worth.
Oh and,

 

Coming together very nicely!

 

Ooooh Happy Birthday Phinix!
