I think I am seeing a movement to 240. Even hobby miners it seems like it is more popular that it was a year ago.
I know after putting a 240 in I love it so much electricity coming in the PDU. I might go with a second 240 sometime instead of the 110's I had planned one day to finish wiring my main mining area.
Sadly I would agree apartment renters are at a disadvantage. Last time I was in one was college and I did not mine there I have always been lucky to have other places to keep my miners.
You pretty much have to own it. Most landlords will not want a ton of electric wires/equipment in apartment. Luckily in my mining area I'm able to do pretty much what ever I want and that is a big advantage of owning the place. I basically turned a garage/work area into mining area. So far has worked pretty amazing made it through a summer so I'm happy.
And after trying 240 I'm not sure I want to do another 110. 240 with a nice pdu is just a heck of a setup.
but I won't get into that,
