Thank you all for your help.

I realize there are not many shortcuts I can take without being hurt in the long run so your input is greatly appreciated.

If noise isn't an issue then you should look for a server PSU. There are a few in the classifieds.




The only way noise will not be an issue for him is if he lives all alone.



That is correct I do not live alone so noise is a bit of an issue for me.

If I got a 1200W "regular" PSU and used splitters, would that cause problems for the Monarchs at all?
I only plan on running them with very minimal power as to get 500ish Gh/s out of each.


no no no no never never never use splitters.

I have an ignorance about the monarchs in that I never owned them and I do not know how to set one up  but splitters suck.


why not bite the bullet and get the evga 1300 g2?

it should be good enough to work for you.

on sale at amazon  $169.00 to 175.00

I've got a server PSU and board, if you can run it on >200VAC it'll put out 1200W and hooks up 12x PCIe cables for about $90

I am looking for a good PSU to run multiple used Monarch Miners.

I was hoping for something relatively cheep single unit that could run at least three miners at 400W max.


Let me know your suggestions or general thoughts about what I should buy or how I can go about powering them differently.

Thanks!
