SPUR for 2 PCs

[Beanobracknell]

A friend is presently running 2 PCs with monitors & speaker amps off a single mains socket using extensions leads.
Should he fit a spur? He would need say 6 to 8 sockets, and presumably should have a single or double socket at the end of his spur on the wall, then use extensions to get his multiple sockets. Is this acceptable for one spur?
Should there be a fuse box where the spur joins the ring mains?

And for future reference, how much currect would a modern PC and monitor draw?

Thanks in advance.

It's fine. Each PC+Monitor+Speakers probably pulls less than 3 amps. The plug in extension leads are protected by a fuse in the plug, the worst that could happen is that fuse blow.

You also need to ensure that the earth leakage current is low enough as to not cause a danger as per Section 607 of BS7671.
