Honestly I wish liquid cooling was independently standardised for data centres. Whilst the application here might be a total waste of resources, having an efficient and nearly constant source of heat in a closed primary loop is very useful for either water heating or other useful purposes. In Aarhus in Denmark, my hot water is supplied by the heat of digestion of compostable waste, organised by the municipality. It's easy to imagine plugging hot servers into this mix.

On a more serious tone, I was thinking of building a Cray-2 shaped computer "fishtank" and gave up when I read the instructions to dispose of the cooling fluid. I don't want that thing anywhere near my house. Or my biosphere.
