Back in the old days of primary school we had labs full of macs.
One day my friends and I discovered you could record your voice on them or other things and set that as the warning sound replacing the standard beep.
After recording ourselves saying our favorite non rude south park quotes we set them as the alert tone and went to lunch.
The next day during our computer lesson the IT teacher told us off saying that after lunch the previous day she had the kindegarten kids in who love to button mash getting very freaked out as their computers told them off in a number of differen't ways.
What’s really funny is that of all the posts replying to this one not one of you have actually gotten the correct spelling of the plural if you knew your English properly you would realise that plurals of words in the English language that end with a s do not get es added to the end but rather an apostrophe therefore the correct plural of virus is virus'.
Yes they don't need all those things but that doesn't make these locations any less strange. Also taking into account what they do need: good cooling, a dry environment, fairly easy access for personell, somewhere your average idiot isnt going to stumble in (as you said build and forget) as well as protection from the weather.
I don't know about you but the last place I would ever think to find a data centre would be inside an old water tank or a Particle Accelerator some of these other locations aren't that strange though I do agree a shopping mall for example seems like a fairly normal place to house a data centre.

If you had rtfa you would realise as quoted above the user is searching for Open Source packages only.
