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

The external dimensions of this rig are delectable. You've created a form that would be congruous yet compelling atop most desktop environments that I can envision. What's more, your incorporation of the watercooling gear leaves little space that does not serve a mechanical purpose; the dimensional aesthetic is generally not superfluous to the functional necessity. This is the kind of design I like to see. Bravo.

 

WOW Bill! Well, if you say so! As long as you guys gonna like it, I will be happy
But legendary? Who knows

Hmm.. it looks like something that looks great, but can go wrong during the process and I would be really scared to do it myself Please, if you can show some pics, then I would be happy to see them. I may give it a try.

Thank you very much for your kind words. I have to admit, I had to use Google translator for some words, but I can see what you were saying. I'm glad you like my design and I hope you going to like the final product!

 

you mean the alternate way right? anyway will post some pic ASAP.

I can't wait

 

Well here you are:

No sure what the name of those things are but you ave to get one wit those sponges under the sandpaper because without them you will take away to much material.And a low rpm.


Do you understand? Hope it helps.

Nice flaps

 

Yes, interesting method

OK. Soon I will add last update. No, not the last update of the whole project I will be away for 2 weeks, so NanoTower will be left in piece for some time, but when I come back I will of course get back on it as soon as possible. This weekend I will work on it a bit and will update worklog with new pieces made and then we will have a small break. Just to let you know guys...

 

This mod has come a long way since I last checked in. Very clean build, it's looking great.

 

You are a very clever guy. Looks very impressive mate.

 

Thank you guys!

Unfortunately I didn't find time to make last update. I'm away now, but should be back next weekend. There is a lot of work in the future on this project, but before this, soon, in the middle of April, if any of you guys would like to see my PHINIX CUBE (..and myself) you can visit Madrit, where the Cube will be a part of huge exhibition. The whole event is called Campus Party (15-18 April). It would be great to see you guys there!

Well, today is 13th of March... again! ... I'm too old for this s***

 

OK, I came back this week, however most of the time I will be spending on preparing CUBE for a trip to Madrid.
Nevertheless, I have something for you guys. This weekend i may work on my Tower a bit.
What I'm going to show you? Here's a small teaser!

 

Gorgeous cuts! Laser cut or water jet?

 

Thanks. Thats cnc from ChilledPC.

 

Oooh ok, nice work Very sharp lines

 

OK.. Campus Party is over, I came back home so it's time to slowly get back to work on my Tower If we will have Campus Party next year, I will take NanoTower with me.. that is a promise!

OK. Now, before I'm going to drill panels and rivet them, wanted to ask for your opinion guys - are these rivet positions ok? or would you change them? You can notice that there are no rivets on outside edges - that where the frame goes behind so I will use screws over there.
Are these ok?

 

Looks good to me

 

Looks good here too.

 

I think that rivet placement is most pleasing to the eye. Optimal beautyness

 

This looks good, but how does it looks without rivets ? Is there a way to do it ?

 

amazing design im loving it can't wait to see more!
