You should just go with Giga Watt for hosting unless your power costs are below 3.3c kwh or it's a hobby. I mine at home but it's more for heat in the winter, and use GPU since they are quit. The rest I just have hosted. IF you're in it for profit partner with pros with lowest operational costs. Since you're building a room for mining you won't get the benefit of heating your house, so unless you have cheap electric I don't really see how you're going to be competitive with the giant farms out there.

If you invest in solar panels and get some tax credits for it then that could make it competitive competing with mega bitcoin farms with cheap electric. Not an accountant but maybe also get a write off using that room in your house for business purposes. Whatever you choose good luck.

If you have 3 rows of rack space, you could fit a ton of S9 style miners in there.   How many are you hoping to run? 

I'm going to guess you'll run out of power or HVAC way before you need that space unless you're in a larger industrial building.

You need to calc up the CFM needed for all of the miners you're planning to run, estimate the size of the exhaust and supply fans you'll need.   If Im on the right track, you might find it easier to concentrate the miners a bit more and have just one or two racks with the hot side facing your planned exhaust fan.  That will shorten your duct runs and straighten them out.  (All those kinks / turns in the duct put a strain on your fans / exhaust).

For an example only.   if you had 10 S9's @ ~200 CFM you would need 2000 CFM of supply and at least that much in exhaust in a perfect system with no loss to air leaks or bad bends in your duct work.    That same setup will need 60 - 70 Amps of 220v service minimum.

What is the cfm of the fan(s) that you are using?  You'll need a way to bring in fresh filtered air and exhaust the hot air.  The window air conditioner won't do much so I wouldn't bother running it.

Hello,

Trying to plan out my mining setup room. It will be 10x22 and my idea was to have 3 rows of 48" shelving with fans blowing into the face of unit and duct type setup behind them all bringing the heat into the duct and then out to a central duct fan.

Can you guys please take a look at this setup see if this looks like I'm on the right track?

Thanks so much
