What is a "power board?" If I Google, I get this:
Im my country wall outlets are rated for certain loads. Are you sure your outlets are rated to support 3 computers on one of these? I would suspect that the effect on other computers connected to one of these would very much depend on the quality and internal construction of the unit.
Hi,
Thanks for answer.
I am in Australia and the board I am using is this type of thing.

Yes it is fine to power the 4 computers, just wondered if one of them shorted out, if the others would be okay.
Would the one that shorted out trip its plug so the others wouldn't short.
Thanks

Yes the other computers should be fine.
The edge case would be if the short occurs on the primary side of the PSU which may cause the circuit breaker to blow. In this case you'd have to unplug the problematic PC and reset the circuit breaker
