    Guys, this is amazing, how many of you like my Tower! :jawdrop:

    Thank you all so much for your comments, I'm so happy you all like it - I was a bit worried that at the end you just gonna say "yeah.. ok.. small tower.. nice.. next please!"

    That's so epic! Really loving it Mike! Also amazed by the fact that you managed to put a 360 rad on that small thing .
    Thank you my friend! I'm happy you like it all finished
    Yeah, that radiator is practically same size as the Tower, so you can imagine how small it is.

    Right now all I want is to clean up the attic
    It is literally covered with aluminium dust carpet

    I have an idea of what I could start next but I need a break now
    I need to get a nice shed to move all the junk I have on attic first

    Wow, thanks. I wonder hot this works to get there.
    On the other hand, I'm not sure if my build matches other builds there.
    They are all done with perfection!

    Dude! I thought the same thing when I saw that prototype of their case few months ago! I'm sure they took it from my Tower! BASTARDS !!!!!

    Well.. I made you guys wait for too long I guess

    As promised, I'm adding below final photos of my sweet little Nano Tower.
    This is first batch, "night photos" at my desk. I've been extremely busy with my house lately, I did major part of all jobs I had to do and had a moment to sit down at my desk and have few minutes with my camera I still need to do "day photos", but unfortunately it has been raining here in Glasgow for a past few days. I'll try at some point this week to see if daylight is enough to make nice photos.

    Again, I would like to thank you all for being with me building this project and all your kind words. It was quite a ride, I loved every single minute working on my Tower and I hope you all liked it too:blush: I said it after I finished Phinix Cube, it's fantastic that we all are a part of huge modding community, where we can share our work, thoughts and ideas. Of course what is also great - all complements we get from other users are "wind to our sails"

    I would like to send a HUGE Thank You to all my sponsors, who believed in my project and helped me out BIG time!
    My thanks go to:

























    Now, please take a moment and enjoy these photos.

    Here it is... THE NANO TOWER!

    Thank you all for all your kind words, I'm so happy that you like Nano Tower. I wish you guys could see the Tower in real life, cause those photos don't show the real look of it - I'm not a photographer, don't have big experience in this area, so couldn't show the whole thing like it really looks like. Especially those night photos are really hard to make.
    I'll try do my best to get nice daylight photos (as soon as we get some sun in Glasgow

    I made some more week ago, cause I was preparing it for bit-tech Modding page publish.
    So here they are....
