Can anybody tell me if 3 computers are too much for a 20 amp circuit?
Actually it is 3 monitors a printer "not laser" and 3 thin clients if
anybody knows what a thin client is. it is about the size of a book
and is not a full tower so I assume it consumes alot less power then a
full computer tower.


Not that tough to compute if you really are a computer geek.

500 W power supply at 120 volts AC = 5 Amps approximately if you want to use
conservative figures.

So factor in the peripherals - which really don't draw much at all, and
you're getting pretty damn close to 20A at full draw startup.
