TRUE STORY from California, USA.

I have a $1M+ short term capital gain (not from crypto) and I would like to (quickly!) put it all into crypto mining business.

I have extensive IT / unix / server experience and I've dabbled a little bit in crypto (very small... coinbase account, bought $1k worth of various, very small).

What would you do if you needed to spend 1 million (primarily on equipment) before christmas?? Huh

I can't imagine buying and deploying (300) RTX 3090's before 12/31 with cooling and power for that massivity solved.

I can't use my garage becase theirs no way I can have enough power setup before 12/31? (only 100A to home).

I used to use colo facilties for dedicated server hosting, but I wouldn't imagine server colo datacenters are are friendly to power/cooling requirements?

How many amps are we talking? Maybe I could quickly rent a warehouse with enough power?.

What would you guys do??

You'll need a warehouse with 150KW atleast, cant get a new connection on this tight a timeline. You will then need to buy 300 3090's.
These would be spread out in about 50 systems of 6 GPUs each, and I would recommend getting a beefy CPU per system as well, to mine with.
Considering the power draw, aside from the regular PSUs to run the system, you will need to get about a 100 HP1200w Server PSU's, breakout boards, pcie cables, risers, the works.

Now setting up 50 systems in a facility that is ready for them is at max a 4 day job with how easy setup is these days, so once you have everything this is very doable.
3090's arent nearly the most cost effective option though, but considering the tight timeline this is your best option.
If you have some help, you could go with about 450 3080ti's and a warehouse with 200KW and that would be a lot more bang for your buck.
