Not quite. In order to achieve something along the lines of the A-100G6 you would need the following:

2x PS500A 500mA power supplies (to achieve close to the power of the G6) $99.00 each
2x BR50K-0 sub rackmounting systems $79.00 each
1x PSCONN2 Power Distribution 9 modules $29.00
1x PSCONNcable (to connect the PSCONN2) $6.00

That is a total of $391.00

Without the PSCONN 2 you may only connect 7 modules to power. With only a single PS500A supply you limit the number and type of modules you may install.
