Put them in space. You want maximally dumb data center? I’m afraid Musk and Bezos already have you beat.

Advantages:

No planning department to come in and disrupt your idea with the laws of thermodynamics and silly questions like “Where is all the heat going to go?” and "where will the power come from?"
No zoning and land use rules
No taxes
No one asking “Are jobs are being created in the community?”

Disadvantages:

Insane radiation hardening that takes so long the certified components are already outdated when you launch them.

No real possibility for maintenance Kessler-syndrom

Communication between satellites over RF slower and also causing RF interference with other Sats

Just look at Microsoft dumping Data center containers in the Ocean that was BS as well
