Today's "So Crazy It Just Might Work!" Idea
Hmmm
#5
I don't know about private homes; but condominium style high rises might benefit from something like this. properly provisioned and located a server farm could supplement the heating requirements of a large building (and heat the indoor pool in summer?).  It also avoids the privacy/power issue you would have with normal homeowners, as the room could be provisioned for the appropriate access, security and power.
What I do like about the paper is that it demonstrates that we should be radically rethinking how we design data centers (and homes/offices).  There are so many opportunities to reclaim waste heat; rather than have to fight against it with air-conditioning.
