This has been tried. Most recently by Microsoft. It’s not bad for energy efficiency and cooling, sucks for repair though. You basically run the servers sealed till enough of them fail that you toss the pod and start again.
Question: Wouldn't it make sense, to build servers into the north side surface of sky-scrapers? There would be tremendous usage for those updraft winds and they could get solar power from the south sides shades..
