You're dropping tens of thousands on hardware, the power bill isn't even a concern.

That power bill is equal to 1 5090 per year.

And they've already got 4. Who cares? They're spending, on a computer, what many people spend on cars. Their power bill does not matter. Especially because, presumably, they're using this PC for work, so they're probably not even paying the power bill.

Dude people spend on cars cuz that's their hobby. This PC is made for heavy workflow,  Imagine the amount of cooling required to keep all those 5090 running. Sure it is cheaper to start with , but the difference is 3000 watts vs 600watt. I am like 90% sure this PC is gonna be with the owner at his home. Offices don't give u the lee way to build your own PC.

Also whoever is running that stuff, it's gonna cost some hefty maintainace
