Still surprised that so much IT equipment can be classed as a domestic installation.
It's in a house - it's domestic. Just because their hobby is computers/consoles etc. makes no difference.

i did consider extra circuits but not enough room in boardIf you are worried about nuisance tripping, if practically possible, why not split the radial into 2 or 3 circuits rather than one? As Lucien mentioned, if the accumulative earth leakage is sufficient to trip the rcd then it could be dangerously high anyhow, potentially making the circuit unsafe to use. Omitting the rcd rather than re-designing the install is not the answer. It is your duty as an electrician to design any install to a safe standard for all possible scenarios.
You cannot rely on a person's "word" that nothing else will ever be plugged in. You know as well as I do that this just doesn't happen in real life.
I think you are doing the right thing by installing a rcbo
to expensive would need 20 to be honest the equipment won't be on all at the same timeAnother option is RCD sockets.
