Well, space, air conditioning electricity and redundancy comparable to what Amazon offers would add a few thousands per month (I guess $2000-$5000, depending on where you are).

Still, way cheaper than Amazon, but there are nontrivial running costs beyond the purchase and build price.

You should be able to rent half a rack with sufficient power to house this for around $1000/mo in just about any civilized datacenter.

I'd love to sell you a half rack and a 20a circuit for a grand a month. That's high even here in the sf bay area.
