Free cooling to those temperatures is available in orbit... well, free once you get there...

  Nope, satellites on orbit have thermal protection from the sun's radiation. It's also harder to dump excessive temperature without matter around. IIRC space suits expel some finite amount of gas to get rid of extra heat.

    Ah, good point, that cooling only works when you're in the shadow of the Earth. I guess we'll have to keep sticking our datacenters in the ocean and at the poles.
