Assuming that an "RCD" is what we call a GFI/GFCI over here, I'd suggest
either lifting the ground, or (preferably) connecting the ground to the
neutral side of the mains (make up a sepcial adapter cord to do this),
and see if it still trips the breaker.
GFIs and old (or just "big" computers) generally don't mix well.

I realyl would want to know exactly how it's
tripping the mains.
Perhaps run it on a circuit that doesn't have an RCD.
I'd love to, but in a rented house and an electronic workshop that's
under strict H&S rules I'm not going to be able to find one. Even my
weekend home has an RCD.
