| 148045 | 2003-05-28 01:09:00 | No problems sc0ut. You are using about 2500 watts, which is approximately 11 amps. Your power outlets will be breakered for 15-20 amps (modern buildings usually have circuit breakers instead of fuses) so you could probably load a two bar electric heater onto that circuit and still be allright. I wouldn't recommend it though. :p Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 148046 | 2003-05-28 01:10:00 | Roughly calculated your consumption (maximum) is about 13amps - each power point is rated at 10 - but that is a switch rating (being able to turn on an off 10 amps), the circuit should be fused at 20amps (that is the most common rating) - so you should be fine even if all pc's are grinding their guts out. :D |
