Using ATX PSU, do I need to upgrade the standard 120v style power cable it comes with if I'm using it on a PDU what's the ideal breaker size / rigs to run on it / best tool to determine exact power draw? Electric has been a frustrating component of all this ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif)

I'm going to have two 30-amp breakers run to two 30-amp L6-30 outlets. As far as tools to measure usage, I'm not sure. But the amps a rig takes at 120v is cut in half when put on 240v. I think I'll just use a killawatt to measure a rigs amp draw at 120v and then plug the rig into the 240v. That's the only solution I have right now to estimate amp draw on 240v.

Be cautious but my kill-a-watt tools worked when i used them for 240v as well as 120v. Most of them are made the same just a different plug for different parts of the world.

grab some metered PDU's, nuff said

A PDU can be used also to step down in voltage. If you are smart, IMHO, you would setup a 480V 3 phase service with your electricity provider. In my local are you can set up as much as 3000 amps at 480V 3 phase and it is not even expensive if the location has a power pole within 80 feet of the building. Then if you want to use traditional air conditioning then you can get yourself a 30 ton liebert CRAC unit and condenser that will run on 480V. For your mining rigs I would then use 225 kva 480V (input) to 208V (output). Now you have a voltage that your standard PSU can handle. Most PSU can handle between 100V-240V. Does this make sense? Of course this is for a massive build out but the principles are still the same regardless of the scope of the project.

I'm thinking intake vents left front right, rear is backed to a wall / hill then roof mounted exhaust fans? I could wall mount fans on the top back portion if possible but itll blow into a hill and get some bounce back . .

Who's extended their coax cable / do I need an outdoor rated fitting or will any extension type due. The wire is exposed

We ran exterior grade ethernet from the house to our barn to take care of our internet out there. For coaxial, are you thinking of putting in a splitter from your service provider's coaxial line outside of the house to run to an outbuilding?

I actually just need to move it due to the awkward layout of the cord / gravel base -- now i'm thinking to just run the modem there and run a ethernet into the house to a switch / wifi extender . . awkward setup I guess lol Also need to figure out this attic fan dilemma if anyone has any input!

You could certainly install some roof vents, this is a 1600 cfm example, but you can get more powerful ones if you need it. Just make sure you know what you're doing before cutting a hole in your roof, or get a contractor to do the job. http://www.homedepot.com/p/Master-Flow-1600-CFM-Power-Roof-Mount-Vent-in-Shingle-Match-Weatherwood-PR3XDSMWW/100072633

I'm thinking of putting 2 in to begin on switches, and then one as many as I need to you know? Well, back when I was younger and in good health I worked a number of years as a general contractor, so I have installed a number of roof vents. I have not installed any for mining related ventilation. For general ventilation in places like a residential bathroom the rule of thumb is 1 cfm per square foot, but you would want more then that for a mining room. There is a handy little calculator for optimal CFM ventilation in a greenhouse. Since a greenhouse gets pretty darned hot , I think that would at least point you in the right direction as far as ventilation needs goes. http://www.littlegreenhouse.com/fan-calc.shtml

Going to install 3 and see how it goes? I'm hoping I can run simply one while my farm is small https://www.lowes.com/pd/Air-Vent-1-500-CFM-Black-Galvanized-Steel-Electric-Power-Roof-Vent/3126703This seems to have good reviews, fit the idea in mind / sufficient CFM -- thoughts? about to pull the trigger and get this stuff done

how many intake vents you all think I need for 3 1500 cfm (4500 cfm) exhaust fan?

I'd like to thank everyone who helped me here in this thread specifically. . I still have a fair amount of more work to do, but the structure is operational!
