Was wondering, whats the most amount of power that can be taken from one wall socket? (with a multi-plug adapter)

Just curious as to what would be ok, anyone ever tried to draw too much and blown the fuses?

Only ask because when I come to building my gaming pc there would probably be 2 monitors, 2 sets of speakers, xbox 360, laptop, OC gaming rig, printer and various chargers. And there's only on wall socket in my room so . . .

:confused:

So ~2700-3000W per outlet is plenty then, and each ring circuit can handle 7200W, even with 3 PC's, four laptops, 6 monitors/TV's, 3 Xbox's and a lot of other stuff it should be fine.

Thanks for the snappy replies, again, was just curious if anyone here's ever overloaded a socket :)
