Not only that, you get to implement a nice power backup system, probably a massive array of batteries, backed up by a few 1kw generators..
Then there's the obvious issue of cooling, granted my experience with alphas is (sadly) limited to several-year-old models that are EV5's:\, but they actually do really churn out a lot of heat, especially your disk arrays.. (not specific to alpha, i know..)
can i admin them? i'll work for free;)
