I'm wondering if it's safe to connect my gaming PC, two monitors, a router, and some speakers all to the same outlet since I don't have any other outlets near my desk. I'm located in Europe, so I hope that helps clarify!

I've been running all my gear this way for over 15 years without issues! Just do what feels right for you and keep an eye on any potential overloads.

Most likely, this will work fine for you. Standard outlets are typically on a 10amp fuse, allowing for about 2.5 kW of power. Just make sure to total the wattage of your PC and monitors—most PCs only draw around 700W at most, which should leave you plenty of allowance for everything else!

That's usually fine! You can quickly check your local outlet specs online and see how much you can safely plug in. But considering everything you've mentioned, it sounds like you should be okay.

Absolutely! I have a lot more connected in a single outlet, including three monitors and various gadgets, and it's been working perfectly. Just remember that it all depends on how your home wiring is set up!

Yes, you can definitely do that! Just keep an eye on what else is being powered from that same outlet. If you're running heavy appliances like a washing machine or kettle simultaneously, then you might trip the fuse. Otherwise, you should be good to go!
