Sounds like a few people need to do a subfeed like I did for the test beds here. 100A dedicated panel mounted directly behind the 9 bay 6 foot tall rack. That panel will one day be fed from the 10KVA UPS I just have to get new batteries for. This sub feed is off a 200A feed that is for my office only.

But my eyes lits up on that 70 lights... whew! Which series is most compact (sized for desktop or tower style) pdp or vax and only needs one wall power cord to run whole thing (including storage built in). Current draws snipped. Even I did manage to bull through my parents and did gotten that 11/70, breakers will trip every time I power just the cpu itself up. I throw out flames at my parents every time they accidently tripped the breaker with that ac unit making my computer go out, all plugs in my bedroom and few in living room including my alarm clock and shop computer go dead. I hated this apt even it's located in nice location, nice people. But I do have 2 negatives about this apt, floor is very bouncy for a uneven cement floor (too thin?) and too few breakers on too many circuits attached. Landlord turned down the request to put insolated circuit and a breaker just for ac even we did pay the electrican ourselves. Lots of space in that breaker box, 5 spaces left actually. Thanks. :-) Wizard
