There are just 4 different components in that build. There are 7 Overclocked Heat Vents, 2 Component Heat Exchangers, 3 Component Heat Vents, and 6 Uranium Cells.

Well I needed to make a blast furnace for my mining drill and chainsaw. Then its just sat there doing nothing- so I fired it up and built a turbine hall.
2x LP liquid boiler, 1 solid HP boiler, and 9 turbines. This gives the worst EU:resources ratio ever, but it looks awesome so its all good...

You can stop any and every engine from exploding by using redstone energy conduits, they just dump the excess energy, so there's no buildup. I've been running 4 combustion engines into a single (full) redstone cell for half an hour
.In case your boiler system had explosions, then your problem might be water, actually.
You can stick your turbines right onto your boilers afaik, no pipes needed
.Yep, that's what I did. It might look a bit ugly and you have to put them on different sides but it saves you the pipes. There's really no need to pipe steam or water.You can stick your turbines right onto your boilers afaik, no pipes needed

Given the few thousand iron needed for this, I think I can spare a little gold to keep it looking good.
Recreated my melon power, and with creative mode. (Got to play with it and make it compact. Not sure how many engines before it cannot support itself though, 10 works great at the moment)
I'm quite happy with this design and may tweak it only a bit when my friends server comes back up. (Still working on components of my wheat farm to biomass facility, may use this melon setup for initial power of the farms and biomass production)

Just a single farm. 8 rows, 21 blocks long of harvest-able melon. Never did understand the need for a melon farmer block, these things grow on their own...

You get a better yield if you plant them in alternate squares (think chessboard)- that way each melon can grow on 1 of 4 locations instead of 2.

you dont have to fetch the waterbuckets? =)
Always wanting to tinker, plus I added some numbers.
Small Changes
Edit:
Does anyone know a good gate setup to stop harvesting? Right now I just get a lot of flickering because I'm sending the signal when the tank is full...

Did you now that you can stack melon/pumpkin fields up to 7 layers for one harvester (with one dirt layer between each two). However lighting is important there, so checkerboard pattern doesn't really work, because plants die at light level 0. However I don't know why I build so big pumpkin field, because on current hard forestry settings 1 bucket of seed oil in biogas engine is sufficient to squeeze about 0.3 buckets. On the other hand one impregnated casing needs 25 pumpkins which equals to 10.5 stacks of pumpkins per alveary.
You could set up a small buffer tank in front of your main tank with 2 gates on it, one that triggers when full and one that triggers when empty, tie them both into either side of an rs-nor latch, you'll have to use vanilla redstone but an rs-nor latch is a fairly simple structure.
When the buffer tank is empty this will flip the latch to one side, tie this into your production system so it starts, this will run through until it fills the buffer tank completely which will then flip the latch to the other side deactivating your production, which will then wait until the buffer tank is totally empty before starting up again.
That should give you a decent run rate on your systems.
