Power and colo

Nameplate W	Provision kW	Circuit (A+B)	Colo/mo 5-yr	Colo/mo 3-yr	Colo/mo 1-yr
1,748	2.19	208V 1-ph 20A (4.2 kW rated) ×2	$383	$493	$548

Basis: Supermicro configurator estimate for this build (1,747.7 W), no GPUs. Add 600W per RTX PRO 6000 when populated; 4x 2700W PSU. Provisioned kW = nameplate ÷ 0.8; colo billed on provisioned kW (power page).

GPU cards to populate a host (vendor, list, status): RTX PRO 6000 SE $15,334.10 (Supermicro, out of stock); H200 NVL $28,415.35 (Supermicro, unavailable); L40S $10,055.96 (Supermicro, in stock); RTX PRO 5000 $8,699 (Supermicro, in stock). Cards are priced separately; the host ships without GPUs.
