Anyways, what can we expect in the power department, any special preparations we need before delivery we should take note of? Will I need to call an electrician to run dedicated lines to the rig?
no. 4-5 Babyjets per residential household outlet. even more if you don't OC it.
Well, I was wondering about the denser 2TH rigs they probably will roll out later. 5 chips in one case would approach normal outlet limits, correct? I'm trying to balance my concerns of space and outlet limits, while maximizing hash rate. I prefer not to 20 individual boxes strewn around the house, and would rather have 4-5 rigs that are easier to keep my eye on.
Preferably, whatever configuration that would best balance typical outlet loads and hash rate would make me happy. If that means 5x 4 chips overclocked per rig on one outlet I need to know, if that's a greater cumulative hash rate than what 4x 5 normally clocked chips per rig on one outlet can do (assuming it's limited by outlet power draw).
my electricity cost is not so much the concern, but the maximization of a balance of hash rate and power draw per outlet whilst minimizing space usage is my goal.
the 350W power draw listed on the site is the OC'd draw. the nominal draw is 250W, i think. normal household outlet is 15A x 120V = 1800W. assuming the 350W, that would be where i got the 4-5 rig number from. 5 would be pushing it as normally you might want to be 10-20% below the max. this also assumes nothing else on the circuit elsewhere nearby.
the big puppy apparently can't be OC'd but i have much less info on that one.
