This only seems practical in a handful of climates that stay cold throughout the entire year.
Many places that have very cold winters often also have very warm summers. In which case, do you turn the servers off in the summer?
- PeterWhittaker 12y agoThat was my first thought, as well: Ottawa was wicked cold this past February ("extreme cold and wind chill warning again? fml..."), so it would have required a basement full of servers to have meaningful impact... ...and we can expect our usual stupid hot, "be nice to be in Houston right about now" peak couple of weeks, when the basement is nicest part of the house and the AC runs pretty much non stop.
