So, older house, older wiring. Pic related. The red Edison style fuse is a miny 15amp breaker for my kitchen circuit (turns out a toaster and microwave blow the fuse when the refrigerator cycles on, easier to reset it than replace it.) Otherwise fuses seem to last longer and trip less frequently than the alternative. Long story about why I have not remodeled and replaced it. Yeah the housing bubble collapse. At least I'm not underwater.
Anyways... I'm running multiple computers off of one outlet. My king kamehameha rig has a 850watt PSU to power the 4 six pin power connectors to the GPU's, all the way down to an old XP box on the same circuit. I don't know how many computers are safe to run at the same time.
And, yeah, V=A*R, pretty simple formula, I just have no idea what kind of juice these rigs actually draw. I've heard that space heaters won't trip the fuse, but are dangerous because they heat up the older wiring and cause the insulation to melt. My really old rig (think a bunch of oldschool, oversized Scsi drives) acted like a space heater. So I am cautious.
I love you guys, no homo.
