Certainly interesting. I missed this one in my El Reg RSS. Does anyone
have references on a (modern) picture of what their servers look like?
In other words, they are particularly vague in the article and the
associated video on how they actually use this water to do the cooling.
I assume it is not "real" water cooling, but utilizing that water in
their air conditioning units somehow. I cannot imagine they use the
water to re-humidify their server rooms, since rooms smelling of piss
and chlorine probably isn't appreciated by any but the most green of
environmentalists.
Best,
