HARDWARE: Cooling computers with Jet engines
Reading Ben Rockwood, came across this one.
HP is cooling computers using Jet engines
What a sad day for the hardware industry. In the datacenter at work, my boss faces the same problem, the electricity usage has been proven to be almost 80% due to computers and HVAC. With the cost of electricity, we can probably buy a mid-range Dell/IBM-Lenovo/HP every month. I can confirm what Ben says elsewhere, when you are designing a datacenter, just talk to the person who is designing your HVAC. The techs who design your datacenter's A/C and cooling, all are unanimous that they are getting a lot of business nowadays.

Yep quite true... Last week our servers had to be shutdown for one half of the day because the server room was too hot.
