I want to ask some of the self proclaimed DC people who obviously know more than anyone.

Lets say you stuffed 32 SP10's into a rack leaving room for a switch up top. How many circuits would that one rack need? Hell how about you give me a AMP figure.

The SP products are bad ass but I think most of you have to much koolaid you are trying to hand out. You act like you are going to run these miners for years LOL! I kept stuff for no more than 2 months before sold and moved onto newer equipment.

We run a hosting company (don't ask, I won't colo your miners :p). On 208V circuits, we are seeing that each SP10 pulls 6.5A.

32 SP10 x 6.5A = 208A total.

That is AT MINIMUM 7 X 30A circuits for a single cab, leaving you zero margin for fluctuations. Most DCs won't let you pull more than 80% of the rated circuit.

Realistically, the power density is higher than most DCs will let you purchase, even those that advertise high power density.

With all the above said, the SP10s are still the most power-efficient miners I have seen to date. For our hosting operations I have to buy power in bulk, so I simply squeeze one or two of these SP10s into a cab where I have power that is paid for, but not fully utilized.
