Anyone know whats the most efficient way to run these? My apartment is running out of available circuits and want to not overload them since the building is old. Any ideas? I could always host a few units at my brothers place as a last resort option.
Prerequisite: Have access to a Kill-A-Watt (http://www.p3international.com/products/p4400.html) or similar device.

I have limited power and I checked the circuit breakers for my home and noted the amp rating and then determined what plugs go to what breakers and split up the load.

I suppose you could look at increasing the efficiency of your PSUs.
Running a power supply at 50% load, ie using half of the power rating is generally the most efficient.
However you are often only looking at an increase in efficiency of 3%.

e.g. A 80 Plus Platinum PSU on 110v at 50% load is 92% efficient (or at least so they claim) vs 89% at 100% load.

Another approach is to determine your most efficient GH/joule settings of you miner.

Edit: Yeah, so basically you have as much power available as you have available...not much you can do there.  Undecided
