More machines aren't really going to stress your power. Headless machines use very little power. My Dual 800 P3s w/ 10k RAID only draw 65w typical according to my meter. Most of the power use in a system is the monitor.

Besides my dorm was built in the 50s. It still had 15 amps / fuse which is more then enough for a room. You'd probably start to cook yourself before you actually burned out a fuse.

If you want a dual box, go for it. Mines a lot of fun, particularly when my roommates all need to use RDP at once. I'm just pointing out that there are cheaper and more effective solutions.
