3840W per breaker. Minus 2400 leaves 1440W, for a CPU, the minor components, and monitors/other equipment. In theory it could work.

    You would still need to run the computer off multiple plugs, as almost any 240v plug is 10a.

    You'd likely need a dedicated breaker and plug, similar to a stove plug.

    Here, plugs are 230V and 16A = 3680W. Not quite as much as I thought (most extension cords seem to be rated for a bit more, which makes sense), but definitely enough to run monitors of the same breaker.
