Plugable hub can handle more units (as of the power) but there is limited area around the plugs ... need to use extension cord if you want more sticks.
IMO 25W will be enough to run 4 units at decent clock around 4Mh. You need to test it, see the HW error rate and adjust accordingly.

Thank you very much for taking the time to respond. I have ordered a used unit (Pluggable USB3-HUB7-81X) for $17.
I have mocked it up and it will have no problems fitting 4 moonlanders in terms of physical space. So we will see about the volts/watts/amps.

Mockup below, will report back with more details in the coming week.

NP.
Hub price was really good and has better slot orientation so you can use each other instead of omitting two. Should work good. You're going to face only power and noise issues.

Meanwhile I advice you to find a way how to isolate entire hub from vibrations because fans can go really loud and hub lying directly on table make terrible noise. I had to put a piece of foam underneath to eliminate the contact rattling (and hear only the fans). Best way is remove the original fans and use one bigger to cool them all.

BTW nice mockup, is this 3D? Looking good. Did you made the stick model by yourselves?
