I think I know the winner. Is it possible to request additional amperage at a particular seat #?

I buy extra seats for extra power.

Okay, so if we have 6 seats, in a row starting from the edge, do we get at least two breakers?

Each run has one power opening per seat. From there, you should hook your power strip into the provided opening and you are good to go. We have staff to supervise the power connections and hook up to help ensure everything goes smoothly.

Talking about breakers at the seat level is just obfuscation. We work with the electricians on the layout and drop patterns to make sure each run is set to provide ample power per seat with plenty for your PC and monitor.

Alright, we'll just wait and see. Condenser draws a lot of power.

You mean compressor?

Is it running off of your PC's PSU or are you supplying power separately?

I mean condenser :)  not mine, but I'm sure the power is separate. I'm one of the other six from the group.

A condenser draws no power. The compressor is the power draw.

If you want to call it a condenser unit that is fine as it is an assembly of parts that typically includes a flow facilitator i.e compressor.

Unless all of you are hauling something in that is going to be pulling 7 amps each I dont see a problem. Remind me to add a freaking appliance clause next year.

I assumed that there was some sort of pump, so I'm sure you are correct. No mini-fridge next year? 8)
