Phinix Nano Tower by Mike Krysztofiak

These memory sticks came from Crucial, yet another supporter of the Nano Tower.


The graphics card was the last piece of main hardware to fit in. I replaced the original double slot back plate with a single one, because soon the card was getting a shiny new water block installed, which I received from Bitspower along with all the compression fittings used in the project.


There were still lots of things to be done, before I could call it finished. First of all, all those LEDs needed to be soldered together! I think I can say that was the most time consuming part of the project. I bought myself a 'second hands'” kit, which was a great help and made this all soldering a lot easier.


I cut those SMD strips to three LED bits and started to solder them together. I needed four sets, six strips each. Those sets would make 'lighting modules' for each comb.


After few hours I had those all soldered. Then I used a 1mm thick aluminium sheet to cut out back plates from it. I screwed them to the side panels with small M3 screws and wired them to be powered from the 12V PSU power cable.
