You plan your capacity on what you have or realistically expect to get in the near term. always. You don't plan for some unknown future amount of servers.
I guess I was thinking the Enterprise folk were always welcoming new servers into the fold.

@scottalanmiller can still probably top this... But when I was at my last job we finally retired a server that had been in operation for 30 years.

My wife bought me something similar as a birthday gift, but I've never tried it. For whatever reason I'm only buying beer in bottles, so it won't fit.

Hang a couple of those off the server. Maybe we'll get close to that 495W!
