I already have the raised floor (about 400 sq ft). I just need a

the 11/70s and 11/750s and most of the other H960s are in a 1950s
quonset hut - it's cute, but the curved walls are inefficient for
trying to make a datacenter in the corner of, so the flooring is
stacked, waiting for a rectilinear building to go up next door).
That and I don't have adequate electric service to the place without
upgrading the pole. I've got 100A for the house and quonset hut
*combined*.

Yeah, its better! You don't have to pay the power bills or setup the
HVAC, the raised floor, etc.
Then, what's the point?
Half the fun of running big machines (for me) is the hundreds of hours
and thousands of dollars you put into improvements in your living space
to turn it into a datacenter, which at best only slightly lowers the
resale value of your house. :)
