I decided to hook up a 2nd PC to my desk area corner thing. So i moved my pc from the side of the desk to behind my monitor so its parallel with the wall (intake fan is facing a fan i always have running) and i place my old 17" CRT where the my pc was. Now im going to place my old Dell computer in the "computer compartment" of my desk which i never used. Plugging both the monitor and PC into the same Surge Protector as my: PC, Monitor, PS3, and Speakers/subwoofer.

Think ill trip a breaker? i think i'll be fine (you think i'd know because i went to a technical high school and was in the electricity class >_<)

It'll probably be fine. Just make sure you have a really good surge protector. If it fails during a major surge or spike, then there goes everything that's plugged into it.

Only way to really get an idea of whether you will or not is to work out what the limit is on the breaker you've got all this hooked up to and try to get an estimate as to how much you're using with all the equipment.
