By far and away the cheapest option is to mod a Server PSU.
Theses are all platinum eff jobs that are designed to run  24/7 under load and can be brought ridiculously cheap.

there are pinouts online but you will need a soldering iron and cabling and some kind of cooling solution needs to be rigged as there are no fans on these.

I did about 10 of these exact PSU 2 years ago and they outlasted all the fancy EVGA/Seasonc 1500W PSUs we used


this one looks good too as it has 4x fans onboard
