Although power is free for you for some reason, buying a good PSU gold rated and above is important, you don't wanna fry or burn your S5 miner in less then a month.

Seasonic 760watt PSU is a good choice, you can choose either platinum grade or gold grade.

If you want to pay less for seasonic you can also take XFX. These are actually rebranded Seasonics and are also cheaper.

Ok I will try to go for at least silver+
Also is it good to buy a bigger PSU and then run 2 miners on it?

Edit: e.g. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00COIZTZM/?tag=pcpapi-20 (1300W) OR http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00K85X2AW/?tag=pcpapi-20 (650W)

I am making a bitcoin (BTC) mining farm with 10 ANTMINER S5's.
https://bitmaintech.com/productDetail.htm?pid=000201412...

IMPORTANT: I don't have to pay for power so efficiency doesn't matter.

Specifications
Hash Rate: 1155 GH/s ±5%
Power Consumption: 590 W (at the wall)
Power Efficiency: 0.51 J/GH (at the wall)
Rated Voltage: 12V
Dimensions: 298 mm x 137 mm x 155 mm
Cooling: 1x 12038 fan
Operating Conditions: 0 °C to 35 °C

Notes
PSU: A power supply unit is not included, and you will need to provide an ATX PSU. There are 4 PCI-e connectors for +12V DC input and all four are required. Do not connect more than one PSU to the same hashing board.

I am going to be running these 24/7

If you are going to use ATX PSU, then buy PSU with rated power 750watt.
If you are in US, find used server PSU, they are cheap & reliable.

Keep in mind that a lower efficiency PSU will ultimately put out more heat to do the same amount of work - so if cooling is going to be an issue it might be better to spend a little more and get a Gold PSU over a Bronze.
