So, for a computer that normally takes 3-phase power but actually just

single-phase loads internally (i.e., it's made to take 3-phase power

that's what's available in industrial/commercial buildings, but nothing
in
the machine actually requires 3-phase power), I think that a single-phase
conversion might be preferable to using a rotary phase converter.
The US model KL10 contains many single-phase 120V loads, but the ECL power
supply front end (H760) actually uses three-phase, with three
ferroresonant
transformers and a three-phase bridge rectifier to provide 12.6V at 500A.
In principle that could be replaced by some other 12V 500A power supply,
but if you're going to do that I think you'd want to go further and
replace
the H761 linear regulators or the entire H761.
