When I built my house I added a outlet in the computer room with it's own 20 amp breaker, best thing I ever did. All of this is pluged into 2 UPS's, each one with a extra outlet strip pluged into it.

2- Computers
3- Monitors
2- Printers
1- Scanner
1- PSU under desk for external lights, fans, and testing things
2- Speakers
1- Cable modem
1- Router
1- Switch
1- Wireless AP
1- USB hard drive
1- Laptop charger
1- Camera charger

Hi, in my case :

1 Computer
1 Monitor
1 Printer
1 Scanner
1 Router
1 External modem
1 WAP
1 External powered USB hub
1 Ethernet hub
1 Telephone base station
1 Lamp

That makes 11, although that is my maximum (and the lamp / telephone base station are not really 'computer equipment').

Computer, scannar, printer, mouse dock, camera dock, moniter, cell phone charger, speakers, router, moden, big screen TV, xbox, VCR, DVD player, amp, floor lamp, lava lamps (2).

20 plugs being used in my room. Quite unsafe actually, considering I have one outlet in my room, with two power bars coming out of it, with each power bar connecting to another power bar/extension cord, plus whatever is plugged into them. Supprisingly, I haven't blown a fuse in 6 years

-speakers

Then that goes into a surge strip where:
-computer
-audio box

That's just my computer.. my dad's computer with the printer/scanner/charger/2 routers/cable modem etc etc... a lot more

I think I have 15 outlets in use, between my phone, router, pc, speakers, phone box, modem, pocket pc ect. That also includes a monitor for when my friends bring over their pc.

3 power strips in three wall outlets carry 17 loads.

4 computers
4 monitors
1 router
1 cable modem
2 sets speakers
1 PDA dock
1 camera dock
1 telephone
1 external HDD
1 printer

jonny5c has the right idea. I will have to look into getting a dedicated power line for the computer room.
