PSU help please

[Peerless67]

Hi, I wish to start mining some coins, I have just purchased some Gridseed 5 miners. It is not my intention to stick with these but I want to use them to learn my way around.
I have had a stroke and I struggle a little with retaining stuff that I used to take for granted. I have signed up here and hope to join a pool when I am up and running. I am not expecting the miners to be profitable, but I am already burning 1.2 - 1.5 KW to heat my studio so I will use the heat generated buy the rig for heating the place.

My question about the PSU. I would like to be able to run 20 Gridseed 5 chip miners. If I understand correctly they are each 12 V 6 Amp and 60-70 watts
I do not want to run 20 individual PSU's. I would appreciate it if  someone could point me to a PSU that will run 10 miners or 20 miners. I do not mind if I need to buy a single unit or 2 units.

Thank you in advance for any advice.

 They are only 60-70 watts each if you try to mine Bitcoin on them - which they are VERY VERY INEFFICIENT ON, TOTAL WASTE OF TIME.
 Scrypt they are marginal on for mining, if you have SUPER cheap electric they might manage break-even. MAYBE.
 I think they only use about 5-6 watts, perhaps a bit more due to the fan, when mining Scrypt only.

 There are a lot of "PCI-E 6 pin to barrel connector" adapters out there, some specifically designed for use with Gridseed mining units.
