Gonna be watching this thread, in case I can magically afford it in the next two days. Gonna depend on what my pool does to be able to fund it, but turning two X1 into 1.2TH would be pretty cool. Should be able to scrounge up some cheap waterblocks and tie into a big watercooling loop too! Exciting!
If they're looking at pulling no more than 400W per board, you could get away with two boards per PSU but three per two PSU load-balanced would be both safer and more efficient (as each supply would be operating closer to its peak point). Hate to be a shameless plug but we (the guys that make the Dell PSU boards minersource sells) should be started moving DPS-2000BB boards in about three weeks, which can source about 2500W reliably but require 200-240VAC input. There's a preorder group buy https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=637595.0 in case anyone's interested.

BTW. I need you to call me as I plan to run this off your PSU's. Dells be a rocking this farm so far, I see no reason to change.
Do you feel 2 will handle 3 boards? I do, as I have seen them pull 8's and 9's... your input is needed.

We will probably end up trying a watercooled system using PC parts due to the socket size... should at least look cool!
Are there are quad head water coolers out there? That might be interesting.
Would go with 4 individual blocks, linked 2x2 is seriers to 2x 240 Rads.

I know its expensive and highly impractical.. dont care.
Plus you can pay in BTC
