I have a dedicated 20A circuit that I right now plug a 750W PSU into each outlet. So pretty meager pull.
However, I'm going to be adding 4 VEGAs into the mix and so got a 20A PDU strip (
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00077IS32/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s04?ie=UTF8&psc=1). So I'd like to plug what will now be four 750W PSUs (two diff rigs) into it (I'll be sure to keep it at 16A total either way) and then the PDU into the single outlet.
This may be a really obvious question - but ... that's okay right? It felt much better sharing the PSU's between two outlets, but that's probably me just being way over precautious.
I'm going to check the internal wiring to make sure it's 12gauge too.

NO, go to the DRYER CIRCUIT and RUN 220V with the two wires, and wire a bus to all power supplys on the bus, all power supply have a switch for 220 or 110
Running on 220v means 1/2 the current carrying capacity,
It's never a good idea to run more than a total of 1500 watts on a household circult and frequently the plates can have neutral & hot swapped, so if you plug into multiple outlets and swap hot&neutral so they short you will have a fire if lucky, and but certainly blow your main panel.
Just run a long 220V wire from your dryer to your rig room and run off 220v for all your rig power supplys and run them at 220v
12g is 20am, 10g 30amp, 14 gauge 15 amp,
think the normal wire in outlets its 14 gauge 15amp, that be 1500 watts, just one miner,
but if you run say 220v on a 10g wire, you can run 30amp, and get 6,000 Watts, maybe 8 rigs each running at 750watts off of one feed, the 220v is normal to be at 30amp, just like a lot of water-heaters

Sure individual power supplys you can plug into all the outlets, but bare in mind usually in one room its just its all the same circuit, all the same 14gauge wire going back to the 15amp breaker on the 110v line, that means 1500 watts make per room, but a lot of places maybe all the bedrooms are on one breaker, you need to get a signal detector and write the breaker-number for every outlet in the house on the plate, so you know if you have too much load on one breaker
Another fuck is often electricians put lights on the same circuit is outlets, then when you turn on/off lights it causes a spike in the power supply resulting in a reboot if you don't have batter back-up isolation.

FYI In my house I have all the plates for my computers on separate circuit breakers at 220v, in my computer room, I have only 30amp plugs at 220v, same in the kitchen so I can run industrial mixers and convection ovens.
