What is the power draw under load/idle? Does it noticeably increase the room temperature? Given the surroundings (aka the huge pile of boxes behind the setup), curious if you could get away with just a couple of box fans instead of the array of case fans.

Are you intending to use the capacity all for yourself or rent it out to others?

Box fans are surprisingly power hungry. You'd be better off using large 200mm PC fans. They're also a lot quieter
If you care about noise, I also recommend not getting 8 GPUs with 3 fans each :)
