Couldn't you use a 240V dryer socket for that purpose? That should get you 7200 Watts on a 30A circuit.

You might need a second 240V outlet for the air conditioner to evacuate that much heat.

True, but when you operate 7 GPUs on one board I reckon keeping a good eye on your thermals is where it starts. Otherwise you can kiss your GPUs goodbye well before you reach the payback moment.

Edit: and you'd have to factor in that cooling power as well into the running costs.
