| 1134159 | 2010-09-02 23:26:00 | Ok so say the kitchen is isolated and the laundry/computer room are on the same circuit. since this is not a all the time thing surely upping the current a little would be ok. There must be quite a bit of redundancy built into it to tolerate a small rise. 5 yr old house, should have plenty of power....you have 3 pcs running?, what size PSU do they have, i wouldnt expect the breaker to pop until you got over 2400w...add up everything! |

| 1134160 | 2010-09-02 23:34:00 | I listed everything in that room pretty much in the previous posts, the PC's have PSU's of 1000, 850, and 800. | DeSade (984) | ||
| 1134161 | 2010-09-02 23:35:00 | Depending on how many floors you have, My house is 3 floors and I have heaps of breakers in my box | nedkelly (9059) | ||
| 1134162 | 2010-09-02 23:37:00 | Oh that could be one reason why. | nedkelly (9059) | ||
| 1134163 | 2010-09-02 23:39:00 | Its only single story 5 bedrooms office(comp room) two lounges pretty standard. There are a few things in the fuse box, probably breakers. maybe 12 of them. |

| 1134167 | 2010-09-03 00:40:00 | A cheap UPS (or 2) could be used to isolate the PC's from any surges caused by the dryer switching on - assuming it's a surge issue & not a steady-state power drain. You could leave all the accessories (monitors, etc) off the UPS & just power the main boxen. Are those PSU ratings so high because they're powering extreme gaming rigs, or are they just there for power stability? If the latter I doubt whether you'd be using anywhere near the rated power. You could try & work out their consumption by measuring the rate your spinny disc in your meter rotates, assuming you can keep everything else in the house stable for a short time & maybe switch off 1 PC at a time if it's not too important to lose for a few minutes... |

| 1134168 | 2010-09-03 00:41:00 | I don't have a option there the closest points outside the room are not close enough and with a 4yr old running around the danger of the cord is too great | DeSade (984) | ||
