Actually I did a study on this (I'm a PM for a small server company) about a year ago with data scraped from a popular US based online vendor.
For PSUs >1000 watts, I found that server supplies are cheaper both on a relative (more watts / dollar) and absolute cost basis than ATX form factor supplies.
- jandrese 4y agoAren't the >1k watt ATX power supplies usually the "gamer edition" ones with huge markups? They cost a lot because they are a small niche--very few PCs need power supplies that big, and the ones that do are running multiple wildly expensive GPUs so budget is clearly not a concern. There's probably more legitimate demand on the commercial side for >1kw PSUs so they can enjoy larger economies of scale.
