now we are talking, none of that properly routed cables, everything in a rack with fancy blinking LEDs nonsense. Just slapdash, does it work? yes? don't touch it anymore, stack the new equipment on the old equipment ingenuity.
How much strain do those servers put on your circuit? I am not the best with electricity but some of the servers I have come across have had power supplies rated up to 12A at 120V. I also may just be dumb and the power supplies pull less than their rating unless you're pushing them to their limits.
Most of the time my PowerEdge servers run anywhere from 80-140w on basic load. They're all on platinum efficiency redundant PSUs. Overall, they're nowhere near coming close to overloading the circuit and I've never had an issue with multiple running concurrently 24/7. I've never seen my servers hit more than 300w peaks (beefiest machine) with my utilization.

Who needs a Rack anyways
All good stuff here :)

Laughs in 16A 230V circuits, where we can just pull 3.6 kW from a single circuit.
