WTF?! What do you look for in a home? Are lots of bedrooms a priority? Perhaps you crave a large but cozy living room with a built-in fireplace. If, however, you prefer a house with no bedrooms, one bathroom, and a full data center setup with a liquid cooling immersion system, there's a $2.4 million house in Texas just for you.
A recent Zillow listing shows off what initially appears to be a very impressive residential home located in a Dallas, Texas, suburb. Exterior shots of the large windows, arches, trees, and paving suggest the inside will be a multi-roomed mansion complete with features that reflect the high price tag.
Visitors walking through the door might be surprised to find a hall that looks like the entrance of a prison. In addition to the bulletproof-glass-covered reception area, sterile white tiles, and heavy industrial doors, there's a sign on the back wall that reads Crypto Collective, the name of the company that previously ran a cryptomining facility out of this house.
Despite outward appearances, the house is described as a turnkey Tier 2 Data Center once owned by AT&T. It comes with plenty of industrial tech, the highlight being a single-phase liquid cooling immersion system for use with dielectric coolant. It consists of a pump, 500kw Dry Cooler, and three Engineered Fluids "SLICTanks" that are currently filled with at least 80 mining rigs, though more machines could be added.
You may remember this Dallas, TX home as the "Strangest Home In Dallas" but now it's been upgraded to a "Full Liquid Cooling Immersion System. True multi-use facility whether you need AI services, cloud hosting, traditional data center, servers or even Bitcoin Mining" per the… pic.twitter.com/p7b4a6WO68

Other specs in the listing include five New HVAC Units, two separate power grids, a backup diesel generator, double safe room door, and a touchscreen whiteboard TV.
The single-story, 5,786-square-foot house comes with no bedrooms and just a single bathroom. Just in case anyone hadn't realized that this is an industrial facility, the listing suggests it could be used for running AI services, cloud hosting, servers, Bitcoin mining, or traditional data centers.
The house is just 20 minutes away from the center of Dallas and near two major highways. There are questions over how it's able to operate in a residential-zoned area, but it's obviously been used as an industrial site in the past.
