For sure. Though, the sensors will pick up when the first of two seals break, you could potentially use the system while a replacement seal is being worked on. If you’re feeling adventurous that is. ;)

I figure if you buy that house in that location, the cost of having it fixed isnt even on your radar.

I have a big enough house to be able to put this machine somewhere out of the way but there are plenty of cheap server gear on classifieds. I paid ish 300 euros for a 32 core machine with 40gb ram. I can host all the things without it even breaking a sweat.

Probably uses a lot more electricity, but I haven’t really noticed it on my power bill

Yeah, it really sounds a bit low. I’m not sure what else goes into these containers. I assume there might also be a bunch of portable equipment and cabling that goes into moving the data in and out of the container? Power infrastructure and cooling and what probably takes up quite a bit of space as well.

Reminds me of AWS Snowmobile, which is literally a shipping container filled with harddrives.
