Most power supplies do 100-240V so they can be used in multiple countries. You might be able to find cable to connect it to 240V plug, or could wire one up. But there would be no advantage to using 240V.
The only advantage for 240V is higher power. All desktop PSUs top out at 1800W because of the 120V 15A limit. There are server PSU that have higher power limits that would need to use 240V to reach the higher limit.
