AAAwave 6 GPU Mining Case + 4X AAAwave 2100 RPM Fan + 6 x PCI Riser

Product arrived ahead of schedule and properly packaged with an inner and outer box.I have to be honest, I am typically against buying frames vs building your own, but I decided to give these frames from AAAwave a shot. I bought both the 6 GPU and the 14 GPU variants. Both we're easy to assemble but I will say the 14 GPU version seemed to go together like butter, much quicker than the 6 GPU version. I guess that is due to all components being larger. Be aware that since these are basically aluminum extrusions, your going to have little shavings everywhere after opening everything and laying all the components out. I chose to assemble mine on my living room carpet where I could quickly wipe down the assembled frame then do a quick vacuum job. They even included a pair of gloves to keep your hands clean and cut free.One thing I will suggest right off the bat is to completely skip the assembly instructions as some of my part bags didn't match what the instructions we're telling me. Instead I'd recommend going to YouTube where AAAwave has a couple of excellent video's from building the frame step by step to part 2 where they go over installing components. It made this entire process quick and easy rather than being frustrated by the instructions.I have already ordered another 14 GPU frame to convert the rest of my 1080 ti's over. Just a word of warning, this bad boy will be extremely heavy once you get 14 cards and 4 power supplies on it. That may sound obvious but i would move it to it;s final location prior to installing all 14 of the cards.

Product came well packaged. The instructions were OK. They were obviously translated into English so the words were completely worthless. Pictures and diagrams could be better but, you if you take your time and logically think things through, it goes together fairly easily. The rig is very sturdy and the pieces are precision cut. Fit and finish is very good.The only issue I had (which is mentioned by some other reviewers as well) was the mounting points for my PCI-E risers were a bit off for the ones I had purchased. I was able to get all four points on each riser attached, but you have to leave both all of the stand-offs very loose to make it work. The stand-offs end up being a bit angled if you do this, but everything can be attached without the need to redrill holes.So half a start off for OK directions and another half star for bad PCI-E risers mounting points.

I will first say that the price point is better than others out there. On the other hand, you get what you pay for.Upon opening box, there is thousands of little metals shavings everywhere on everything. This can be very dangerous if you were to rub your eye after handling anything in that box. Edges are very sharp also so be careful if you decide to buy this. It's was also a quality control issue.Onto the directions paper that is included. It is a epic fail on directions and worse is that several sentences do not make sense and words are misspelled everywhere and abbreviationsAfter several hours of assembling one of the 12GPU Frames, it was clear positioning of parts would be critical to get cables from psu to reach cards depending on how you utilize the shelves and your layout.My suggestion is, spend 20% more on a frame and save yourself frustration and time especially if you are using 8 cards instead of 12. I also bought another brand frame, the Veddha for 8 cards and it is built well and would suggest that one instead of this one if you have 8 cards and not 12.I'm going to be returning 2 of these 12GPU Frames.Hope this helps some others with researching what would work for them.

Had I posted a review after assembling the first of my AAAwave 14 GPU Mining Rig Frames I would have told you they were the single most frustrating piece of junk I have ever worked on. The first one took me 4 hours and lots of cursing to get together and one of the pieces had the holes drilled on the wrong side, still managed to make it work but really pissed me off. HOWEVER, once assembled it was exactly what I was looking for and at this price they are a bargain. TONS of extra screws included and the frame is very solid. I ordered two more and the 2nd and 3rd went together much easier since I now know how they work. Also helped that they had the holes drilled correctly. Recommended, just make sure you watch a AAAwave Youtube video to get an idea of how they fit together.

Yes there's a learning curve putting this together, the groove bolts are a total pain in the butt, peeling paper off acrylic is tedious, there's some modifications needed to get it to work and mount cards, and the instructions are almost useless. But in the end it works well and seems solid so I'm ordering 2 more now that they're finally available again. The others will be a breeze now that the first one is hashing away.Note 1: the hex bolts are a pain with the angles required and can strip easily, so I'm going to use other bolts of the same thread on the next ones. There's lots of extra bolts and parts included and it appears there's other bolts already there to use instead. So wish I'd used them from the start!Note 2: PSUs are supposed to be installed fan down, but that'd only leave about 1/8" or less between the acrylic and fan intake the way this is setup. Next time I shut this rig down and for the others I'm going to cut out holes in the bottom sheet so the PSUs can be mounted properly and have solid air flow.

So you know, this thing will take forever to put together, there are instructions but they are not the easiest to follow. But if you did your legos as a kid it isn't too hard to figure out. In addition, the riser holes are just barely too far apart, they must drill them for the risers that they provide because my Rosewill, Longrunner and EBK risers all do not match up. But once it is set up properly and to your liking, it appears to be sturdy and survived me moving it, fully loaded with 12 cards and all, to a different room on a different floor.
