C|Net has posted some pretty cool pictures of what it looks like inside a Microsoft data center. There are a dozen or so low resolution shots but they are still pretty neat to look at.

that is just insane! wonder what their power bill is like..lol
imagine being the sys admin of just one of those rooms!
That's what's inside the containers: the data racks, all ready to go, as I understand it. Bring one in, drop it into place (ok, not "drop" but you get the idea), port the necessary cabling into it from the backside and wham, instant petabytes... or whatever the actual capacity is.
But will it play Crysis with everything maxed out?
The only thing I can think of the advantages of using containers like that is everything is prebuilt and configured off site, then, just drop it off wherever and plug it in.
Windows 3.0 duh!
I sense a new map becoming available for all the popular FPS games.
Wow... I'll bet Ockie gets a fuzzy feeling inside if he checks this out...
imagine the poor sap who trips over the power cord....ooops.
Hasn't this been played out enough?
I suggest looking at google's servers, more effecient, cheaper to build, and more space compact.
