Would I overload my circuit breaker if I turned all my systems on?

With a DS and PSP Chargin' their lazahs.

Is it safe? They're all on the same APC powerbar. Should I try it?

Try it and report back with the results if you want to try it out. Can't really see it doing it, but I wouldn't leave it going for a long time.

Why don't you try it?

Light your dog on fire, while you're at it. Just to see what happens. :)

No. If they are all plugged in separately though, you'll be fine.

Ok I tried it. Most plugs can handle 12-12.5 amps. Since the voltage is 120V that means single circuit can handle about 1500Watts. So all systems like these total to under 1500 W? Cool! That's with the TV on as well.

i turned on 2 computers 1 server and 3 monitors and i think my 360 and lcd tv and it was fine(not sure about 360). The portable heater was the component that overloaded the circuit.
