``Rated Current   108A``

Why is it 108A and not 10.8A?  I don't understand that at all.  I see that bitmain also doesn't use the decimal:

Because its rating at 12V, not 120V. I don't know what mains system you're going to use, but I know you'll be using ~12V.

Okay.  I think I understand now.  On breaker boxes, do the breakers read for 220V or 110V?  I thought residentials get 220V, and it gets split/halved at the box or something.  I should have tried learning more about this stuff a long time ago.  I am assuming that 15A breaker is for 110V?  Is that correct?  It's normal USA wiring, as I understand it.  Built new in 2006.  A quick look at the breaker box shows 10s, 15s, 20s, 30s, and even a 40A.  And it looks like the 30s and 40 take up a double-slot in the breaker box.  So those are maybe 220V?

I have an S7 coming within the next 7 hours FedEx.  So I am trying to learn what I can as quickly as possible.  I could kick the fools who wired this house -- as the two back rooms are both on the same 15A breaker -- which is where the router comes in.  And the master BR is on a 20A for itself.  SMH
