the PSU they already have,
they don't have a psu, they buy in bulk what they need

calculating an 4th miner put in function 2 months ago is ~600$

They get those psu directly, they are custom made for them and they are probably pretty cheap as a 1400w server psu can be individually bought at ~200$

To get 4TH we talking a lot more power and standard home outlets don't allow over 1800w so unless this is JUST for data centers we won't see a 2kw home miner s6.

2x 1200 watt server psu's = 2400 watts easy peasy

.4 watts a gh = 6000gh done if they want to do it.

So it would essentially be 2 3000Gh machines in one case, that and no home miner would be able to run it.

Plenty of home miners could run that. All you need is one 20A/240V outlet. Perhaps you mean "A home miner that is not willing to spend a dime upgrading their homes electrical system cannot run it."

I would not say no one.  I am lucky to have 2 lines going to house and decent wiring.  I was running 12430 watts approx during winter.   That is well above 6T you mention.
