Electricity Generators

Make the computers as efficient as possible (strip unnecessary components)... and solar power might work... but it'll be costly.

My uncle is a dealer for solar equipment, he signed up so he could save money on his system he uses on a family cottage on an island near Mass. The system is probably around 4k and can power a small fridge, vacuum, stereo and lights. Even a laptop and speakers for it. There's also 2 water pumps in the house that I believe are powered by the AC he's generating. That said, I think you'd need several times what he's got to power your system.

A 6000 watt load will take at least a few 15 amp circuits. Three 20 amp circuits would probably be better. Though an electrician will be able to tell you exactly what you need.

all right, i'll give them a call..eventually..i have so much work, it's not even funny :(

yeah, solar power is not going to be cost-effective :(
 
If you get it to run just Motherboard, CPU, and Memory over a network, you can probably power 2-3 systems off of one power supply, so that should reduce the power requirements.

That's a very good point. With that many systems, power usage due to power supply inefficiencies is going to be incredible.

You needn't rewire the whole house, get an electrician in to run a dedicated circuit from your main line, but be sure to ask about regulations first.

It will probably cost less than anything else.

Yea, and since your power box is in your basement most likely, and thats where you will need the new lines, it will be a lot cheaper then buying generating equipment.

that's a good point.
