If I plan on running multiple RockMiners would it be a better idea to hook them all up to a single PSU? If so, how should I go about doing this?

The biggest commercially available PSU is 1600W or so, so you would only be able to support 3.  It would make more sense to buy the more economical 1200W ones and put 2 on there.

It also depends on how much cabling and what kind of PSUs you will be using.  Not a big deal with modular but non-modular smaller ones equals cable mess.

Nothing wrong with that, just don't overload your power supply.

Does the R-box have wireless web connection?

I just bought one for a friend... I was hoping he wasn't as insanely lazy as he is.. I might end up having to set it up..  I could watch youtube like I did with my S1's.

Are we talking about the RockMiner R-BOX?

for the r-box you will run many of them with the large PSU however if it fails you loose them all.Try to power 5 at a time more stable and not much money.
Also you did not mention how many

I'm starting out with 7. I will probably add more though. Would it just be a better idea running them each on their own power supply they come with.
