   In my past three residences, I've spun two 30A 220V circuits (on 
L6-30 twist-loks) into the computer room.  This is, in my opinion, *by 
far* the best way to go.

   I have two UPSes...APC Matrix 5000s.  They have a 220V input, and 
both 110V and 220V outputs.  This is just about perfect for the kind of 
stuff that people like us tend to run.
