so what power supply and setup would be needed to run these things? I am retarded when it comes to this stuff. took me 2 days to get my s3 up and running lol
You need at least a 205V socket. If you're in the US you're looking at 110 to 120 for residential so you'd have to drop one. Also at least a 15 amp breaker to handle 1800W, as it runs at 1280W. I suppose it's possible you could buy a very high end EGVA gold power supply and run it. The 1300 would be at max load so You'd want to go higher. The issue is you need 9 PCI plugins 3 for each board over the standard 2 for the S5. So you're going to have to buy more split cords in all likelihood to run it. Note that is to run ONE device.
This could possibly ALSO work.

Either way a server PSU is going to go for a lot less then this thing. I'm looking at this guy on the boards for possibly three units but his IBM only is pushing 2880, which isn't enough to handle three units only two. So I'd need a supplemental PSU to handle at least a hash board left over.
