As there are currently 19 machines running in my
apartment, along with 6
monitors, a couple of external SCSI disk arrays, two fans, all of our
electrical appliances, stereos, etc., we've discovered that plugging in
anything more will blow the fuses. We've got a couple of spare ones
ready, as we've shown we need them. :)

I have a little over 20 machines in my basement -- mostly PCs of the Pentium
class (a no-cost cluster :) ) but a few anceint sun boxen, 2 19" monitors,
television, printers, hubs, stereo, power tools and a few other things. I've
never blown a breaker in this house (knock on wood), but every time someone
uses the treadmill across the basement my UPS sees it as a brownout and
switches to battery power.
