This project is proven to been feel interesting. Yes, right now my cabinet is 3.5kw capacity. The question is how capacity should I upgrade my design. Talking from point that I have pictures shown as working production for another application already. So I like to find a spot in bitcoin mining. But the one I have does not fit the capacity requirements yet.

I am racking my brain to understand what situation someone would ever use a 20kW contained-cooling rack. Usually these are used with 1-2kW of gear as a sound-dampening enclosure, not meant to actually cool a large amount of power.
OPTION 1: You put 20kW of equipment in an open rack or on shelving. It costs <$400. 20kW of heat is blown out the back of the cabinet.
OPTION 2: You put 20kW of equipment into a sealed enclosure with a 1.3 PUE AC built in. It costs >$5000 and weighs >300lbs when empty. 26kW of heat is blown out the back of the cabinet.
oh, and option 2 is a little quieter, you only have the noise of a 20kW-capable air conditioner.
Seriously - this is a product with no market. Liquid Immersion cooling tanks are the obvious alternative, and are quieter, FAR more power efficient, and can move the heat outside of a building by pumping the hot liquid to a radiator located on the roof.
It might allow a data center without the airflow to host a few miners. But cost I don't see this as feasible.
The true data centers for bitcoin have massive airflow. And they would never need this.
I would have to agree to expensive to hobby miners, and no market for these in a true bitcoin data center.
The product sale good with more then 10,000 units to market like bank branch, small office, cellular site and etc in Thailand alone. Heat pass through a duct out of the room.
Immersion cooling is what I'm looking at next. I'm developing a 200kw per horizontal rack with micro chiller. Trying to make one withIn $20K budget right now.
