We always seem to have an odd device or three that needs 120V, like a
wallwart for an external modem or LCD KVM console, or some legacy
specialized gear (CBORD comes to mind). For those we have been
providing a single circuit/PDU in the room that runs at 120V and
running extension cords as necessary. Everything else is 208V.
