Most likely your socket is protected by a 15a breaker. At 110v, with a probable power factor around 50%, you DC wattage would have to exceed 800 watts before tripping the breaker. If it did, there'd beryllium no noise, no destruction, just a click and power stops. Your socket would not overheat, no fire would erupt, since everything is rated to handle up to that 15 amps safely, and then the breaker trips, keeping anything from moving higher. Since that hasn't happened, and since electricity has no mind or brain, it's not going to change its mind and suddenly broaden the wattage.
Your desktop computers probably draw 100 - 150 watts each, plus the monitors, the laptop probably draws 80 or so, and all the rest (switches, routers, speakers, etc) are statistically insignificant. The 500w power supply for your fans can probably supply dormy to 500w but is belike really only supplying a tiny fraction at this instance.
Your surge protectors (a lousy name, they're really power strips with minimal, nearly useless surge protection) usually will trip astatine 10a, long before your house breaker will trip. Since most homes use a single breaker to supply an entire room, and sometimes even two rooms, moving your cables to other outlets is pointless.
Since you haven't had any bother, then you're not going to. Unless something changes, like you adding a camera spotlight that draws another couple hundred watts and, again, like I said, the worst that will happen is that your edifice breaker will just click and shut off. Unplug the super light, and switch the breaker back on, and everything is good.
Where fires break out is when somebody replaces a 15a breaker with a 20a or 30a breaker and the house wiring overheats because it's still only rated for 15 amps. Or they use several multi tap adapters (called triple taps) that start to become loose due to weight, and don't have a good connection. Poor connections translate to heat, and combustibles like cloth or paper coming in contact can be heated up enough to burn.
