Any decent 1200W power supply is going to be WAY above $100 in any case. Once you start getting into the 1000+ watt power supply , prices really start to go up.

Find a 1U breakout board first, then find a compatible used PSU.

I think many of them don't have 5V output, so if you can share what you really need from the PSU, just 12V or you want high current 5V as well. Or is it possible to split the load? Get a low cost regular PSU, then put all the heavy loads to the bigger server PSU.

EDIT:
I think there are some Supermicro non-redundant PSU that comes with cables attached. Might be easy to just use those, just short the power pin to get it running.

5v needs to power the SSD drive, is it possible to connect 5V via pico power supply?
