Anyone have recommendations for 1kPSUs for the L3+s that aren't from bitmain so can be run via residential power
 I.e., 120v? I heard the evga1000 had enough connections but wasn't sure due to the rails.  Any help is appreciated.

I'm not sure you can run them at 120v

on the other hand if you have a circuit (or run one) with 20 amp 12awg wire...just mark the white wire at both ends black put both on your choice of 220 plug on
one end and the 2 (now black wires) on a double pole 20 amp breaker..as long as the ONLY thing on this revamped circuit is all 220v now ..

and again ..you can always just run new wire above at 220v and when mining is done flip the breaker back to 20 amp single pole (take off black wire use as neutral)
and change the 220 plug to 120 plug at the wall...and things are all kosher

youtube is full of projects like this

but again 120v prob nope...also they are loud unless they are in the garage and basement and if so .....say basement..just do what I did ..you can even do the
sub-panel trick like mine from youtube videos

anyway my view on 120v .even if it works I would not run them on anything but 220v

Sure you can run them on 120V.  I have 4 R4's running on 120V right now.  Yes, I have just worked up a 220V circuit and I'm waiting for my PDU.  You just can't have more than one miner per circuit at 120V,  Like Searing said, 220V is the way to go.
