I'm trying to get into mining, so far I have a S17 coming soon, hopefully in a week. Aside from that I'm looking at getting some other miners. I have a location I can set these miners up in a maintenance like room, so noise wouldnt be a bother. The cooling on the other hand have to figure out. Also space might be an issue I can't take up too much.

Anyways I was trying to look at miners that aren't necessarily efficient due to the electricity. I looked Ebang E10.3 24th but didn't realize it takes 2 PSUs which means 2x the cables for power. To me feels like it might take up but I'm not sure.

I'm looking to get 4-5 miners at the beginning but I am so indecisive. I keep finding one I like but then decide no because I may not know everything before I buy. Anyone mind sharing some of you wisdom please?

Why does it seem that no one ever bothers to read existing posts to find that their question has already been answered?......
Start with First time/small miner reference for getting started followed by Current list of competitive hardware

As for Ebang and their crappy miners, ref https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5165794.msg51847126#msg51847126

Let me decide for you.  Use the s17 and just mine with it.  No miner is worthwhile at the inflated prices offered.

You have a quality piece of gear use it for a month learn how to mine with it.  Then make a move.

As a suggestion run at mid speed not turbo.
