Real costs associated with building out a datacenter are significant. I'd be surprised if building and operating a warehouse comes anywhere near the cost of building and operating a datacenter. You've got things like generators, HVAC, PDUs, electrical engineering, network equipment, non-H2O fire suppression systems (not to mention the cost of the racks, systems and power itself) that make a datacenter a pretty hefty investment. Even if you amortize the cost, it's amazingly expensive.
