Just think of the scores we could produce at some of the distributed computing 
projects if we kept that many boxes running for heat =D I wonder how that would 
compare in cost to traditional heating...

 

I remember a time at my previous employer when the air conditioning briefly 
died in the data center. The temperature went from ~68 F up to ~90 F in about 
10 minutes.

 

As cool as that would be, it should really be measured in volume rather than 
area. Is that 18 sq ft for office space? I'm sure each computer would heat much 
less than 18 sq ft in a warehouse with high ceilings.

According to US government figures, the average computer and monitor produces 
enough heat to maintain a temperature of 70F in an area of about 18 sq ft with 
an ambient temperature of 0F.  We would need to run 66 computers and monitors 
to heat 1200 sq feet. Without the monitors we would need about 150 computers We 
could use fewer on warm days ;-)

1. WTH are rancors?
2. Computers running do put off a little bit of heat, but not enough to heat an 
office, also they will not be running 24/7.

But I do agree that SBW is the most ideal space. It is ready now, not some far 
off distant future that may never happen (LangLab), and it is still pretty 
convenient to get to!

A note about LangLab space, since in the photos it appears to be relatively 
smaller than the SB W&D, heating would not be an issue with computers running. 

Either two of the locations looks good, but, SB W&D sounds like it is offering 
us a better deal. 

Loved the "note the human entrance" caption. Are we going to be moving rancors 
or something through the overhead doors? Sorry, couldn't resist.

  I'd also like to see the SB Warehouse space if it works out. Boss is back 
from vacation tomorrow so I should be able to get time off  as needed..
