Hey Dave - thanks for the response.

I'm planning to put it in my garage / office. I know the noise is going to be something terrible, so I'm planning to build an sound proof box and cutting some holes in the wall for airflow. I do have a couple more questions:

- Do you think the noise from 1 S19j Pro is going to be a problem for neighbors? Even if it's insulated, my concern is the noise coming from the air flow holes on the side of the house about 15 feed from the neighbors home. I am also slightly concerned that the noise may bother my wife. My garage is about 30-40 feet from my bed...

- Doing a lot of research online and it looks like I need to have a 20a double pole breaker installed. Is that enough to run one S19pro? I'm having my electrician come out next week to see about installing a new breaker and running a cable to my garage. Is there anything specific I should let him know other than the power I'm going to be drawing?

- It looks like I need I need C13 x NEMA 6-20P cables and a NEMA 6-20R receptacle. I'm also looking at getting a PDU Power Strip. Am I missing anything here?

Thanks for your help!

15 feet is a tough call.
For every doubling of distance you loose about 6db. the 82db is at 15cm. So 15cm is 82db, 30cm is 76db, 60cm is 70db, 120cm is 64db, 240cm is 58db, and 480cm (a little over 15 feet) is 52db. So it is background noise at that point and having a wall will make it better. BUT it's still the droning of high speed fans. If it's a mostly unused room you are probably fine. If it's a bedroom and they like to sleep in perfect quiet then....

The soundproof box will need a lot of airflow so you will probably have to get creative with the ducting. The miner will shut down if it gets too hot, but you really don't want to keep hitting max temps so do a lot of testing.

For the power, let the electrician know that it's 24/7/365 pull at that power. Not intermittent use.

He can advise what is best in terms of receptacles and codes in your area. I can tell you what you need where I live but the next county over here in NY, is different. I am not even going to guess what code is in a different state.
