I'm not sure, I'll have to check. There are no local regs against it, so I need to check out the national code I guess. I wandered over to Home Depot today and it looks like the metal conduit is 10X the price. A lot of contractor types were buying PVC (maybe for in-ground stuff, though). The subpanels are surprisingly inexpensive.
I also just stumbled on something interesting on my city web site - there is a requirement that there be a blocked off junction box in a parking stall, with a fish that leads all the way to the main panel through conduit, appropriate for 220V. I think my town was anticipating us all driving electric cars; I'll have to look at using that location for the subpanel.
Thanks for all the input so far.
