I am in the UK, (so 240v power supply).
I have gradually built my gaming system up and up, and as you know, when adding monitors, sound, game controllers, there always seem to be yet another power supply to go with them.
I'm sure many of you will recognise this situation.
Items requiring power socket are
PC with 700W PSU;
3 x 22inch monitors @ 25W each;
G27 wheel
5.1 surround speaker system
stereo powered speakers (added these to make it up to 7.1)
1 x Mini Amp (12v DC adaptor for each ) for SimVibe setup.
Everything works perfectly well but I'm about to add two more mini-Amps and there will then be about 10 plugs in total. I have them going into fused extensions, and then into two mains outlets (on the same circuit).
I don't think these are horrendous numbers, but I would appreciate some advice about the best way to protect my system from electrical fire. What devices should I be inserting for added protection? Is it enough to have a circuit breaker at the main sockets?
(I am more concerned about protecting my house than protecting the individual devices).
Thanks for any help,
Keith
