I heard those blackboxes require a 60 ton water chiller… I’ll believe in this thing when I see it. It’s amazing you can take a 3 phase power hungry, heat generating box that requires water cooling and call it eco-friendly. Personally… I think they should have added a flat iron top to it for cooking pizzas/eggs/bacon. That way the Red Cross could feed the people they’re helping in those pictures 😉

AFAIK – and we asked the question – everything that sucker needs is in the box. plug in water and power and networking and you’re off and running. as for being eco-friendly, i’d be surprised if in terms of the net cost in terms of ecological cost per watt they didn’t come out ahead of your typical datacenter. significantly ahead. it’s a self-contained, self-cooled unit; to my way of thinking far more efficient in terms of processing thermal energy than a typical datacenter, which cools tons of wasted ceiling space at no benefit.

Mike, from what I’ve heard, there’s nothing to stop you attaching it up to a river and disapating the heat that way. As to whether that’s eco-friendly or not, who knows!
