I have ordered 2 l3+ (for the September batch) along with 2 apw++ for the July S9 batch, and I was wondering what else I need to know/have before I am ready to begin mining. I am planning on setting up the machines in their own room of my home and I couldn't find any information about how many can be hooked up in one room or how many on the same circiut. Also is there anything I need to worry about regarding the placement of the miners or the powering of the miners or the profability of them in September. I am very new to mining and any helpful responses would be greatly appreciated.

(also it says I need a power cable for each APW++ and I was wondering what I need for that too)

Assuming you're in the US, you'll likely need two separate circuits. One L3+ will be pulling 8-9 amps so you can only run one on a typical 15A circuit, MAYBE two on a 20A but not recommended (you should not exceed 80% of breaker rating).

I don't think anybody can help you with profitability. Most likely the difficulty will increase and profitability will decrease by then, but nobody can tell how much.

You'll need a power cable like this (again, assuming you're in the US/Canada/etc): https://www.amazon.com/Tripp-Lite-Heavy-Duty-IEC-320-C13-P007-006/dp/B0027JRMD0

Edit: you'll also need a wired internet connection, e.g. two Ethernet cables from your router.

Thanks for the detailed answer, if I were to get a 240v circuit how many miners would I be able to have on it? And what kind of cooling would I need for 2 L3+'s?

Go with a 20 amp 240v circuit for 2 L3s, it will give you enough room to add another if you choose. As far as cooling that is all dependant on miner placement in you house/garage/etc. As well as your specific climate where you live
