Hey guys wondering if you got any ideas of how I can get around this....

I purchased a z800 from work, I tested it there just fine at the warehouse but I brought it home and tried powering it on and it immediately tripped the breaker. I took it across my apartment and tried it there with the same results, even powering everything off in the room but the z800 still trips the breaker box. I'm sad, I really wanted to use this but seems like I might need more juice which I will not be able to get.

Specs:

HP Z800
48GB RAM
Xeon 2.8GHz Six Core x2
Geforce GTX 470
1100W Power Supply
x2 300GB PCI-e SSD

Hm... 2003? I don't know anything about house electricity. But I suspect that.

Or perhaps try another one of your company's machines and see if it works.
