....And statements that assert that substandard performance at 110 volts is not a problem because customers can always host in a datacenter instead of running their machines in a home or office environment are disingenuous. ...

Adding a 240 volt circuit to most houses is trivial and cheap. If you can afford 4K for a mining device, you can afford another 50-200 dollars for a new circuit or, worst case, a new panel with a new circuit. I find this argument disengenuous. Calling out a company for missing their target is fine and dandy. From what I've seen, Spondoolies has acknowledged that they made some errors and are working to rectify it. But bitching about a circuit or two is just plain trolling. This is high school level stuff.
To those of you who don't know how to do it and/or are afraid to, an electrician is not THAT expensive. It boggles me how people are willing to spend a small fortune on these devices and then bitch because they have to spend a pittance more to make their house compatible with the CLEARLY commercial grade equipment.
I tend to agree. Not sure what drew me to this thread since my current hashing power budget is about 80W-120W ("Free" power). The reports of high-noise kind of rule out home/office use as well. My current miner is actually in a relatively sound-proofed room: but that sound-proofing is insulation. Not sure it would dissipate 3000W even if I wanted to try it.
BTW, I would not recommend running 240V to a 120V outlet: the danger is that you may plug something without an auto-switching power supply in there.
