As an interim solution, I would split your rigs in 2 clusters and make sure you run one cluster from a different fuse.

I'm planning on taking over the spare guest room (different fuse).

I've already taken over the office. Muhahahaha !

My wife complains that "It's a different microclimate" in there.

Duh ! There's 4 graphics cards hashing !

 Cheesy

I have 8 cards hashing atm with a cheapie window ac unit keeping it all relatively cool in my bedroom. One side of my room is 10+ degrees hotter than the other side. Its rly weird to move 2 feet and feel the temp change. Laying in bed its about 75f, sitting at my computer by the rigs its atleast 85f. lol


Get an electrician.

+1 Assuming you even figured out which one to purchase, watching you try to remove the old one would probably give me a heart attack.

I've changed breakers b4, I was just looking for something better than the ace/homedepot $10 special. You don't have to know a hell of a lot to change a breaker.

Usually the next greater amps rating breakers handle the the load of the lower amp breakers well.
Just make sure you are not overloading the circuit amps rating by checking wire gage, and metering your power usage of your circuit.
 Also if u have good power strips, they themselves will limit power drawn at each socket due to a reset switch which pops, so that should take care of some simple overloading anyways.
