how much lighting is the man lookin for??

i run a 400w hps and was thinking of getting an additional 400w hps ,, will this alarm the power companie or??
 
Pay your bills on time and they wont care. High electric bills cannot be enough for a warrant. Many people run multiple computers with 1000w power supplies perfectly legally.
 
1000w PSUs are maximum draw. You'll get about 75% of that for sure. Most computers use 150-300 actual watts.

That being said, think about it like 100W light bulbs. You have at least one per room.... I can think of about 14 light bulbs in my house. All on at 100W is 1.4 kWh(or dual 600W HIDS, pumps, etc.). Ouch. 3 computers+Monitors... probably at least 600 watts. Now you're running dual 1000W HIDs, compared to my house. We haven't even gotten that far!
