A single server is 20 KW. A rack is 200 KW.

These are not the old CPU servers of yesterday.

At minimum, you'd need to wire in new 240V circuits, and you could only run one or two of these servers before you'd need a service upgrade.

Then you'd have to deal with noise from a literal wall of fans, or build a separate high capacity water cooling system (and still deal with dumping that heat somewhere).
