I would also recommend a PDU if you go to 240V. It's super clean compared to a ratsnest of 120V. I have a 14-30 dryer socket (30A 240V service) and I made a 12awg cord going to two L6-20R sockets. The PDU comes with an L6-20P plug so it is just plug & play from there.

A couple of these (240V 20A): http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0052NM4JA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Lots of these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006ZB304G/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Keep in mind that most equipment is 80% of their listed current. 20A PDU would be 16A continuous, and 30A PDU would be 24A continuous. That's why I opted to go with multiple cheaper 20A PDU rather than a single 30A PDU.

BTW I have that EVGA 1300 G2 and it runs fine @ 240V.

Ok, thanks everyone for all the good advice.

So once my last 2 Batch 5 S3's arrive, my capacity will be maxed out. That will put me at 2xS1 and 2xS3 all powered by the EVGA1300 G2, pulling under 1030W at the wall. Then I have 2 Thermaltake 700W Bronze PSU's to run the batch 5 S3's when they arrive. My original plan was to try and just put the EVGA1300 on the 240 outlet with these cables:

But there is some appeal to putting all 3 PSU's on the 240v circuit. Unfortunately all of those PDU's come with L6-20p adapters/cables, and my outlet is the 6-20r type wall plate. So that adds cost for extra cables/adapters.

or
~$165 - http://smile.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/1VLUMJK00FTI7/

Thoughts? Is it really worth $125 extra? Do I have all my bases covered on those PDU options (right/good enough cables, etc)? I'm calculating all of that should easily stay under 9AMP so that should all be OK right?

Thanks again
