I have all the above installed, and the PSU *seems* to be working fine, but I'm wondering if this is an OK setup. A friend of mine said that stressing out the PSU is a bad idea, and that I might be pushing it with 400W.
You need to make sure you buy a power supply that is rated for your motherboard. Common ratings are 350w, 400w and 500w.
It depends on what PC, but your power supply will normally say on the side of it. Most commonly is between 200-400 watts Power consumption is a combination of several things. The power listed on your power supply is the amount the power supply is capable of handling. The actual power consumption of the computer depends on what processes are being used, for example word processing will consume less power than heavy gaming. However, one can expect average computer use to consume 150-200W.
400w

You can power two 400W speakers if you have Peavey PV115 using a 2000W power.
Yes, it would be a good idea to upgrade your power supply. The 600w mark is a standard for performance machines. While 400w will effectively power a basic home computer, it's a good idea to go ahead and upgrade the power supply when you upgrade core components.
Ultimately it depends on the hardware in your PC, but a normal PC generally has something near a 400w power supply. High power PCs generally require 600-700w because they usually have more hardware.
Aprox 12 amps.

A power rating is the amount of power a device consumes when operating at full capacity. Typical power ratings of ATX power supplies are 350W, 400W and 500W.

The bulb takes anywhere between 200w and 400w depending on the size and lumins of the projector. Then there's the electronics and fan. Alltogether a power supply of 220v and 2.5A will be sufficient (500W). However, friends of mine with a 600 VA UPS (Uninteruptable Power Supply) couldn't run their's on it as it may require faster switching then the ups provides.
An audio speaker is usually powered only by the audio signal that comes via the leads from an audio amplifier. The average power in an audio signal is usually about 1% of the peak power, and even with loud music the average power is only ¼ watt or less. But the amplifier must be designed to supply the peak audio power and amplifiers are usually rated at 25-50 watts.
