how much kilowatt does my set up needs to run this mining rig?

 i'm sure this will need a lot so i have to compute how much will it consume and is it worth the time. i'm just going to altcoins though. the set up would be just 2 computer with about 4 GPU on each. i wouldn't consider the aircondition for now just the 2 computer and 4 GPU each.

Considering this can easily be googled, this is a surprisingly ignorant question from a legendary account. Hehe peace  Grin

In any case, it would really depend on the type of mining rig you would like to build / use. For efficient and profitable GPU mining rigs, the average would be around 2-3 kw. For ASICs the range could be greater depending on the algo your ASIC mines and power consumption could be as low as 0.5 kw to 1.5 kw.

Not only can it be easily googled, it's impossible to answer without knowing all the details. Even once you've dug through the CPU and spec of the psu and the make and model of cards, different algos will vary your consumption considerably (eg: dual ETH+XVG vs XMR). Saying that, ballpark 2kw for safety.
