Good to see you used the MNOC link I sent you ;-)

These are some of the Internode Data Centre. Shame about them being in Adelaide. Does the generator look familiar blacky?

The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory has reduced the power consumption of its supercomputing facility by using warmer chilled water to cool the machine.

By increasing chilled water temperatures by 4.4 degrees Celsius, researchers at Argonne's Leadership Computing Facility (ALCF) have managed to reduce power costs by an estimated 800 kilowatts -- US$50,000 -- per year.

i found this somewhat amusing! To save power they make the water just that little bit less chilled!!
