Ill just get something like "kill a watt", and by the looks of this I guess ill have to go with a power generator, a 2000watt one should be enough right?

I haven't measured, I just checked that the max is 500watts, the problem is that both computers will be running processor and graphic intensive applications which might actually push the wattage to 400. I will try and get something to measure the power draw soon to check for sure but i don't...

It's like that, would that be 1000watts at 120v or at 12v? if its at 120v then its 8.3 amps which is very little and a battery should be charged faster than depleted. If it's at 12v then its 83Amps which is too much.

I see, I was calculating 1000W at 120V, I see where my mistake was. The problem is I need these to run for 12 hours continuously, and I need them to be portable, (inside a car).

Sorry, yes its a 12V DC -> 120V AC inverter (1000 watts). What if the car is running, would it be able to charge the battery faster than the system will discharge it?

Im trying to calculate if a standard car battery will be able to run 2 computers, 2 monitors, and some small hardware, and if so, for how long. The entire configuration should be no more than 1000watts. (400 each computer, 50 each monitor, and 100 for small hardware). I can't seem to find how...

i want it to be on only while the speakers are palying from the computer, i didnt want to make it too complex, mostly because i don't know much about this stuff

I want to create a little circuit thing. Ill explain it in a diagram below. Basically I have 1 set of speakers and 2 computers. I want to create a switch that will let me switch between which computer is playing on the speakers. Nothing complicated so far. However I want there to be an LED...
