Is it possible to supply 110KW to a residential property?

[undernet]

Hi

I am thinking about having 4 racks of very power hungry servers in a room in my house. Each rack needs 25KW, plus 10KW for other household uses uses (Kettle, hairdryer etc.). Obviously the electrics box and fuses are going to have to be upgraded but I was wondering if it is possible and allowed for me to a have a 100-110KW supply to my detached house or will this place to much load on a residential electricity substation?

Thanks in advance

i would assume he would be a internet developer and quite possibly use them to store data, or resell the space on the server to clients!!!

I would have thought the internet connection bandwidth would be more of an issue.

I was referring to the fact its in his house. Ive installed many a server room 100A upwards but never in the spare room

my stupid mate installed a server in his back bedroom of his parents house!! dont ask me why!!! but i spoke to him couple months ago and he has to keep a window open and even has portable aircon unit in there as temps exceed 30+ within minutes!!

I got the impression that 'Fibrecity' went bust after digging up half the town. Even so there would probably be some kind of reasonable use policy.
Presumably you'd need a special line and equipment for a commercial package, and they might be reluctant to install that in someone's house.

Hi, Have you got a link handy for a technical spec for these servers, or some similar? I'm struggling to imagine how a peice of IT equiment like that could possible require 9KW per rack..? thanks!

Thats about the same size as the first one I worked on Biff. A 286 would have had more power! The hard (Winchgester) drives were wheeled around on what looked like hospital trollies. If we had to have the program altered it would arrive on punch tape.

I've got a photo somewhere of a very young looking me wearing a lab coat, INSIDE such an animal, with a multimeter doing fault finding!!

Took the kids to the Kennedy space centre a little while back on hols, and they have got a 'real' mockup of the original Apollo control room with all the actual kit in it. They make no apologies that there is now more computing power in a wrist watch than was in that room. So I asked the kids what the moral of that story is..... and after some headscratching time told them: You don't need gadgets and technology to achieve things, you need hard graft, ingenuity and determination together with knowing your times tables. They got it, kind of.

Seems like someone is starting up his own space agency, Godspeed young cyberman
