Like one of these, or more like a dryer plug?

Your pic is a NEMA6-20P (20amp, 14g cable likely). Dryers use NEMA14-30R typically (30 amp).
My 240v/15A lines all use a NEMA6-15R receptacle, which is the standard for that voltage/amperage in Canada:
I then use a 6-15P to C19 cable to plug into a PDU (C20 input), which has both C19 and C13 outs which can feed my PCs and monitors (or in the case of my mechanical room the PDU feeds my miners/ASICs). I still have a 120v/15a NEMA5-15R nearby to power normal stuff like my audio monitors, router, etc.
240v/15a is really simple to install because to code it uses the same cabling as a 120v/15a line in Canada; only 20a+ lines require a heftier cable. A 240v/15A line just forgoes the Neutral line and supplies two 120v/15a hots from a dual pole breaker.
