Or just run your PSU off 240V. Much more standard supply, and most switched mode supplies already support 240V. They’re typically more efficient, too.

That works for sure, though it's less common in the US to have a 240v circuit available (with an appropriate receptacle) anywhere you might put a large server. Using two 120v circuits, you're more likely to be able to set it up with what you have now, without requiring any electrical work.

The comparison was a 120V 40A circuit. A 240V-20A socket would be more common than a 120V 50A socket. Both technically exist, but a 240V 20A outlet would be cheaper, safer, and more common. A 240V 20A outlet is actually somewhat common for larger window mounted AC units.

Yes, which was a suggestion in reply to my comment mentioning the use of two standard 120v circuits, which I still maintain is the easiest and cheapest path for most people.
